Staggerd Wheels?
Hi guys. I am buying some new rims for my 8. Here are the options I am considering
18x8.5 all the way around with 245/40/18 nitto 555
or
18x7.5 front nitto555 225/45/18
18x8.5 rear nitto 555 245/40/18
Does anyone know where the speedometer gets its speed? Front or rear? Because going with the 245/40/18 will put me about a half inch shorter, and I don't want the spedometer to be off too much.
Thanks for the imput guys... let me know what you think.

Yes that is a good tool, but one note in case anyone is doing any kind of speed, power, RPM calcs; the radius, diameter, circumfrence, and revolutions per mile are not entirely accurate. They are based on a tire that is not on a car, i.e. without any weight on it.
Actual dimension are about 4% less which is not a big deal but for instance the revolutions per mile it says the stock 225/45 R18 tire is 777 rev/mile when the actual load rev/mile from the manufacturer is 804 rev/mile. Radius on web site is 13", actual static load radius is 12.1" Probably useless information for most but FWIW here it is.
