Stock Ws6 Tire Height????? Anyone? I recently changed my car back to stock rims and need to know what value to enter into the tire height to ensure proper speedo and odomo readings. Does anyone know this figure?
Thanks
I had 18's on it before....285/35/18 now back to the 275/40/17......the 18's were slightly taller.

Or, there's a more accurate way... The MOST accurate way to know your rolling tire diameter is as follows:
1) Put a mark on the tire at the bottom where it touches the ground.
2) Put a mark on the ground right below the first mark. This is your tire's contact center starting point.
3) Roll the car straight forward until the mark on the tire goes all the way around once and centers back up at the ground again.
4) Mark the ground at that spot, then measure the distance between the two marks on the ground.
5) Divide that number by 3.14 to get your EXACT rolling tire diameter...
