Just My Luck
I recently used the tire section calculator on my computer. My boss gave it to me a few months ago (See my locker).
It shows that the OD's of the new white rims with the 215-45-17" tires, are slightly smaller than the stock rims and tires (225-50-16"). That means that my '92 SVX is slightly slower than the speedo indicates. The differential is so small, that it's basically the same speed as stock tires.
Just my luck to increase wheel size and wind up burning more gasoline to go slower. Go figure !!
