How wide are you tires?

I have 205/40/17 on mine and they look cool and low profile on their own, but they look tiny tiny TINY! on the Versa. Yours fill in the wheel wells very nicely and makes me wanna get a 45 tire.

That's because they ARE tiny...

Your OEM tires have an overall diameter of 24.5". Your 205/40/17's have an overall diameter of 23.5". As a result, your speedometer reads 4.1% too fast. In otherwords, when your speedo says 60, you're actually only doing 57.5.

You need a 45 series tire to be more accurate. And it would be even more accurate if it was a 215/45.

Well how do you know when you are going too fast because even with the scanguage at first showed it was going slower than what the odometer said so then I changed the percentage on it to read about the same as the odometer...hmmmmmmm

and also...bulld0g wanted these I think.

Wait a sec, aren't these the same rims that everyone made fun of me for liking because Bulldog wanted to put them on his V? I'm sure if someone put some effort, they can find the thread that was on. Anywho, I still like um. (Think I might get the same, just with chrome insets.

You know something... I kind of like them. I normally hate the "cheap ghetto make-my-car-look-like-i'm-dealing-crack-and-have-tattoos-all-over-my-body-and-have-fifteen-women-at-my-disposal-and-wear-my-hat-backwards-while-I-shop-at-Wal-Mart-Without-A-Shirt-On" look. But, you know, on that car, it looks decent. I don't know what it is... but hey, I like it.
