18" wheels

[captainrags]

I have purchased some wheels 17 and 18 is there a need for a correction to the speedometer because of the larger rear wheels?

Ray, only if the overall diameter / circumference of the new tyres (tires!) has changed. If it has I think it has to be programmed into the computer: although this can be done for different axle ratios I have a feeling it cannot for different wheel sizes.

I'm sure someone will chip in who has done this.

Meanwhile how about some pics of your car with its new wheels!

Hi Ray, yes I do think they suit the car well and update the C4 a bit. If I didn't have the A-Molds on my 96 (stock) I would probably have thought of similar C5 wheels...
