19" with 235/55 Dia 741mm
20" with 245/45 Dia 729mm

No guarantee this is correct by the way! Wink

RE: Heavy steering problems

They shoud use 255 to close up the gap or use a 50 profile. I might use 50 instead of 45 when i get my 20s.

RE: Heavy steering problems

Surely the rolling diameter of the wheels has to be the same whichever size of wheel is used, otherwise the speedometer accuracy goes out the window...

Heavy steering problems

I dont think speedometers are very accurate. At least not compared to my tomtom. I thought this was one reason why the police turn a blind eye to people doing 10percent more than the limit. In my mini 77 on the speedo is 72 on the Tom Tom.

Speedos are nominally set to read 4% fast to give a margin for error.

RE: Heavy steering problems

Circumference of 19" 235/55 is 2,329mm and the 20" 245/45 is 2,290mm (rounded) so the difference in distance covered with each revolution of the wheel is ±39mm (more by 19") or 1.73%….. which considering that over the life of a tyre the tread reduction from new to the minimum legal depth (±20% of new) will have pretty much the same or slightly greater impact on the circumference and hence accuracy of speedometer I would not worry too much about this.

Pre-Delivery Inspection. The dealer is supposed to check the car and take it for a short test drive to ensure all is well.

RE: Heavy steering problems

I guess that's why mine had 28 miles on the clock and a CD in the player when I picked it up.
