changing wheels
i have 185 r 14 90t tyres fitted to steel wheels on my 240 se estate i also have a set of virgo alloys fitted with 185 65 r15 tyres
would there be a problem if i removed the steel wheels and tyres and fitted the alloy wheels and tyres. iam told there may be a top end speed reduction also the speedo will not read true, is this the case |

If the originals are 185 65 r14 then the 185 65 r15 on the alloys will give a bigger wheel so the car will be going faster than the speedo shows (aprox 4%).
