Speedo Differance When Bigger Alloys Put On

[marchowie]

hi guys i was wondering hwo much of a differance will i notice if i put 17s on to a 1.2 8v clio ? just wondering if its worth while to get 16s rather than 17s for that simple reason that it might put the speedo out to much ?

If you calculate the overall radius of the tyre, try and match to original as close as possible by choosing a different profile of tyre.

i would try and match but the wheels that are on it just now are either 14s or 15s and going to change to 16s or 17s big differance

use this: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
put in the tyre size you have and the tyre size youll be using,no more than 5% difference iirc in order to be ok

doesn't make much difference
