Question Speedometer Change

I had 4:10 installed at CMS my M6 Z28 Camero and the Tire size was then 275x35x18 Ryan changed my computer to the new gears and current tire size.

I now put on New Rims and Tires today ( 255x45ZRX17)

My question is how much is my speedometer off since I went to the New Rim and Tire size?


Any input would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance

If they have your tires on tirerack.com, you can check the diameter under "Specs", see what the diff is.

Or, I just found this:

Edit: Oops, that didn't help much. Only gives specs.

My bad, that calculator works, here's the output data:

Spec Sidewall Radius Diameter Circumference Revolutions Speedometer Odometer Difference
