Without knowing if the physics involved give you an identical sized wheel, it's impossible for anyone to say if the speed readings will be the same or not. A larger than stock rim with a low profile tyre, that results in an identical to stock size, should not alter the readings, unless the readings are based on rim size. Depends where and how your speedo gets the readings.

That is of course why wheel/tire selection is important... :thumbup: I would assume stretching rubber would have the same effect on speedo readings as well...
All I am saying is that as soon as I said they were sized exactly as oem (manufactured by an OEM parts manufacturer none the less) it should have been end of discussion!
