does... So... If you get the right tire on those rims, everything is going to be pretty much right... If you get something that ends up being taller (rim + tire) then you will change gearing and spedo accuracy.


John is running on big rims. Doesn't that make the speedo less accurate? Furthermore, the speedo is not that accurate at high speeds anyway, is it? 160mph indicated could well equal 155mph true speed for him, unless I'm way off mark.
