speedo

[RuFF21]

does putting larger alloys on your car (17") effect your speedo, because surely it is measured on the rotation of the wheels?

or so the insurance said?

cheers tom

It can, it depends on the rolling radius on the tyre a slimline 172 may be smaller hence make your speedo underread gains 15's or 14's.

Yes but the clio speedos over read anyways, so it slightly brings it back towards being correct

Yes but if you have a circumfrence of 1mtr on the wheel for each rotation you move 1 mtr, if you have a circumfrence of 2mtrs you move 2 mtrs per rotation
