Hello lads,

Going to lowered TT springs this week and putting 17's on. The speedo will be out of calibration.

How can I adjust the speedo to match the wheel size, and what speed will the speedo show with 17 inch wheels at 100km/h without calibration?

I'm after a way to do it with the EMV, and without the EMV. I tried to search the forum but can't find anything on it.

There are a number of options. Search speed healer through Google. Or try Yellow Box.
They adjust the signal directly from the gearbox output.

FWIW, I have 17" on mine, and GPS tells me 100km/h is 105/106km/h on the Soarer speedo

I Should have bought a 97!
Thanks everyone lol.

I have 215/65/15 on the Soarer right now. Turns out you can put 225/45/17 on and it will show the exact same speedo reading. Thinking that's where I'm headed. I think anything over 17 inches looks awful to be perfectly honest. Maybe 18 absolute maximum. 15 is shocking so anything's better.
