Hi all just wondering will fitting 15'' wheels with standard 205/65 tryres on a Verada with 16'' wheels put the speedo out much? cheers

From my calculations and guesswork, i think the 3rd gens seem to be calibrated for 16" 215/R60, in which case 15" 205/R65 will theoretically be over-reporting your speed, but not by much; say 97-98km/hr when it's reading 100km/hr.
The stock alloys on my TL LS run 15" 205/R65. Always get the feeling I'm going a tad slower than advertised, but then again I live in bogan central.

ok cool, thanks for your help RoGuE_StreaK, I don't like my KH Verada XI alloys and have some nice 15'' alloys and I wasn't too sure how much it would affect the speedo, cheers
