Default From 16's to 17's. Quick question.

I now have 245 50 16's. I'm getting some 275 40 17's tomorrow. Will my speedo and mileage need to be re-calibrated for it to be correct ???

speedo will read just 1% too slow, no calibration necessary what-so-ever

thats because it's only 1% ! or equivalent to you speedo reading 99mph when you're actually doing 100mph, well within speedo tolerances anyway

Remember both combos was offered on camaros depends on the package so no. Same ratio
