Default crx mph

I have a 90 crx and I put 17in. rims on it and just noticed my mph is off by 10 mph is there any way to recalibrate it or just live with it.

The rim size and tire size are the issue here. If they are not a match to the stock overall size you will be out of calibration. So far as I can tell there is no way to recalibrate since Honda does not offer optional speedo gears.

you would have to have at least 205 60 17s on your car to offset your speedo that much are you sure its 10 mph off. I've had a few different combos on my car and I've never seen a 10 mph difference. What profile tires are you running.

If you know your stock tire size, you can find a close 17" tire size on the miata.net size calculator. The closer of a match you can get, the more accurate your speedo will be:
