225/35/18 fit?

How good is the tire calculater cause the closest i could get was 215/40/ 18 but it was still off, I wish to uprgrade to some 18 wheels but is posssible to get the speedometer recalibrated or something so it isnt off? What brand and size would you recommend for me? Thanks for the help?

its off, but not by much... just 1.29% which isnt much.. when your speedo says 65 you'll really be going 65.8 mph. and when you have 100,000 miles 101,290 miles.. not that big of a difference.. dont even worry about it.. my friend has an f150, he had like a 25" diameter tire, now he's using 35" tires. thats a difference of 10" compared to you .5" difference...

oh and for me 215-40-18 was kinda too thick. i have neuspeed sports with those tires and only 1 finger gap but my car is still way too high. 225-35-18s would be a good size but not sure if it would rub or not. i'm pretty sure it wont tho.

215/40/18 all the way if I get my 18's it will be that OR roads suck, and for daily driver I say 40's. Why add extra miles to a new car?
