What i cant understand is that u buy a wheel and tyre package to keep the same rolling radius of the standard wheel. So how can the speedo be that far out.
And how did vauxhall carry out this test. Do they have a rolling road or summin.

couldnt be off a 200sx because nissan 200sx wheels are the wrong PCD both the mk1 & mk2 for a corsa

Obviously if you keep the same rolling radius the speedo will be fine.
He must have got bigger overall radius.
