As above basically, 19s alter the reading quite a bit- bout 15% aprox I think, IE 70mph reads as about 60mph on speedo so Im told. There is a website that tells you what the difference is.

Basically can you get the speedo calibrated to the new sized wheels so dont get caught speeding basically.??

Cheers

This is going to be 19s so from what I can gather, when the speedo reads 70mhp I'll be doing around 81 ish. Might ask Vauxhall or ABP if they can alter it or set it up.
