alloy wheels Golf mk4?

[valley rower]

I am thinking of changing from 15" 195/65/R15 offset 35 to 17" 225/45/R17 offset 38, both sets are pcd 5x100. Firstly will these fit? Secondly will the overall rolling distance have an increased effect on my speedo reading, ie. if my speedo says 70mph will i actually be going faster?

Cheers

I don't think so, as the alloy diameter increases, so the tyre wall decreases, so the circumfrence should be roughly the same.

You'll be about 30mm bigger in diameter and it shouldnt affect anything, it hasnt on mine.

I always use the tyre size calculator here to work out how any changes will affect the speedo.

My mate has 19's on his Mk4 golf with it lowered 40mm all round...no rubbing at all so 17's will be fine.

ive got 225-45-17ns on my golf not too big to rip the g-box out to which they are prone to happen
this is the same set up as the audi a3 but with pagid fast road pads as standard

I used that tyre calc thing and mine are almost identical, i gain 0.5 revs/mile!
