7627, Rims and Tires Question?
Posted by NATEdaGREAT, Mar-17-02 06:09 AM
Ok say I was going to get some Konig Verdicts(17x7)with tires like a
205/40R17 Toyo FZ4 , would this mess up my speedometer and if so is this the right wheel$tire combination to use so it won't mess it up?
Thanx

Well, you can put that size on but it will throw your speedo off a bit.

205/40/17:your speedo will be 5.2% too fast. So when your speedo reads 60mph your actually going 56.9mph

205/50/17:this is good size to keep your speedo in range. It will be 1.3% too slow, so when your speedo reads 60mph your actually going 60.8mph. Not bad

My personal preference would be to get a 225/45/17. 0.9% too slow, speedo at 60mph, actually going 60.5mph, Perfect! This is actually the size I am running now as well as many others on the board. Hope this helps
