Hey, I was just wondering what would be the effect of changing from my basic wheels (lowest spec 15's) to my new 17's (205/40 ZR17) on the speedo reading? I haven't really noticed much difference but i'm sure there is a few mph in it, help please!!!:)

The standard tyres are 175/60/15"
Your new 17" wheels have an almost identical revs/mile figure so the speedo reading will be the same.
