Pretty sharp !!!! but how much does it throw off your speedometer?

Just setup to factory stock tires 315/70R17 and enter new tire config, and you should see an estimated difference in speed.

RE: Wheels i just ordered
Thanks... I brought this up because years ago i got stopped for speeding and did not realize the owner of the car that i borrowed had changed the tires and size.. Fortunately I got away with it because I was honet with the officer and told him what happened and we finally figured it out.... Using the calculator you sent me here is what I found out if you are going 60 mph ...
Stock 17's = 60
20's = 55.1 Speedometer Difference: 8.730% too slow
22's = 52.3 Speedometer Difference: 14.55% too slow
24's = 49.8 Speedometer Difference: 20.36% too slow
So... if you are showing 60mph on 24's you actually are going about 72.. if my calculations are right

All 20's, 22's, 24's, etc... will not calculate to those numbers...many tire sizes can be used for the different wheel size combinations.
