Is there a way to adjust the speedometer or maybe the transmission to compenstate for smaller diameter wheels and tires. I went to http://www.rims-n-tires.com/rt_specs.jsp and this is the reading I got when I compared the OEM package to the current set.

"When speedometer reads 60mph (96.6km/h) actual speed will be 57.1mph (91.9km/h): 4.8% slower."

This realy sucks because it also means Im putting on more miles on the tachometer than I've really traveled.

Shit mines off by 10mph. And I thought the speedo readout was independent of the tach/mileage.

Boy I hope you're right and Im wrong about the tachometer. Can someone please confirm? I can definitely live with the speedometer being wrong.

Ummmm, Do You Guys Mean The Odometer?

Lol

No, Both Measurements Are Dependant Upon The Wheel Size
