Hello All

I'm pretty new to this so if you could please just stay with me on this.

I currently own a 1997 TE Magna Executive, at the moment it still has the stock rims and tyres also recently I have purchased a set of 18 x 7.5 inch Chrome D'Vincis and am unsure which size tyre i will require.
From some threads that I have read, say the size of tyre you have will play with what the speedo reads out.

Can anyone help me?

im running Sonax Ultrasport 235/40r18 on my 18x7's, they should be fine for 7.5 they also have a 95 load rating and are cheap! i paid 780 all up for the tyres, wheel align/balance

but i also had a good discount (god bless KFC chicken)

there are several threads about the speedo offset from various tyre sizes, just cant remember where it is, but do a search.

btw, i have the same car as u do, and be aware that in some states some insurers consider 7.5" rims as unroadworthy, as the stock rim width maximum for the TE is 6".
U may not run into any issues, but just discuss this with your insurer to make sure.
