I've got some vaux locking wheelnuts but I reckon they will be too short!!

well mine is out, i would say 10%
e.g. 30=33, 40=44 60=66 and 100=110

corsatobe - I wouldn't worry too much about the speed. Assuming my speedo it correct at the mo, I will be OK going through speed cameras as long as I stay at the speed for the road.

The only increase that is large enough to cause a problem is 100Mph = 105, but if you are doing a ton, you're going to get pulled anyway!!!!!

corsa project
i dont get any rubbin on my 17s at all
i spoke to the boys down at extreme
and they fitted me a wheel which i lukily enuf liked that had the corsa offset
y ya thinkin of gettin sum?

The bigger the wheel / tyre the higher the increase

14's = 30Mph
17's = 35Mph

There is another post on here, that has a link to a website that will tell you how far out your speedo is when you put bigger rims on.

P.S. Do you get much rubbing with 17's?

k chees will i be an increase of 5 mph or decrease

Will put your speedo out by approx 5mph at about 5o with my experience.

On speed its hard to say, you would know just as well as other would.
