Yeah but not by much mate, i had 17's on and gon back to 15's and there aint too much of a difference.
14's and 15's probably have the same circumference due to a larger tyre on the 14's anyway, which will mean it wont affect the speedo at all.

a 195/45 tyre on a 15'' wheel will have the same rolling radius as the standard 14'' wheel with the 65 profile tyre according to rochford tyres

You say that. but my car is on 195/55 tire and I was told that, that was the right rolling radius size, and that's on my SRi.

what cunt told you that  your speedo will definitely be out if you have 15'' wheels then. probably about 5mph or something, not much.

Which also means that the actual miles your car is covering is showing less than it actually is!

Not if they're a standard Vauxhall Astra panda car, probably just as out as yours.
