If i switch my rims for a set of 18s, will that affect my speedometer?

 

oh yeah... the car is a 98 lude. the new tire size is 215/35/18 it that matters

 

it will affect the speedo my like 1mph...i rem i looked it up...i got the same size tires..

 

the lower pro tires and bigger wheels basically equal the diameter of the old wheels and tires....so its only like 1 mph diff

 

thanks for the info

Lmao the title ...

for a sec I was wondering if you were posting in the wrong place LoL :chuckles:

 

Yea. I've actully heard it's not the size, but how you wiggle it. h:

 

I've upgraded from my stock 205/50/16 to 215/35/18 today. The first difference I felt was the steering wheel had loosen a lot such that it is much easier to steer. Therefore, I can't count on the heavy honda steering wheel on a straight alignment anymore. This means, I can't let go of my steering wheel for a few seconds if i needed to. Also, the car is a little more bouncy now, probably 10% more. (i have eibach pro kit springs with KYB AGX shocks)

 

size always matters :rick:
