    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    just got my new wheels put on today. dont worry pics to come (just washed). the wait sucked but it was definitely worth it. couldnt be happier. well i could if i had c/o's and smoked side marker and tail lights.

    do i have to re-calibrate the speedometer after switching from 17's to 19's? thanks for the help.

    I went from 18's to 19's and my speedo is 2 mph off of what my GPS says. The Gps is accurate i have checked it against other cars.

    its not the wheels' fault that your speedo is off. its audi's. they (as well as many other germans) set their speedos to be overly optimistic. mine is 2mph off and stock wheels.

    Going from 17s to 19 shouldn't be that much of a difference or if any in rolling diameter, assuming the correct tire size was installed (2xx/35/19).
