Bigger wheels and speedo.
« on: 16 July 2011, 20:27 »
OK, so the standard GTI alloy is 15" and I'm looking at 18" - how will this affect the speedo? Basically I don't want to be doing 30 on the speedo and actually be travelling 36 or something.

If you run 225/40/18's it will be almost exactly the same rolling radius.
