Lifted!

Yup, mentally add 10% to whatever the guage says.

Yup, looks great. I personally think there is a "sweet spot" with lifting the VX. That perfect amount of lift with the right tire size makes it look "right" and perfectly balanced. Well done.

HAHahahahaha!!!

Actually about 7%...

Or use an old GPS as a speedo

[nfpgasmask]

7% is right. Use a GPS to see what your actual speed is when your speedo reads 60mph. Then buy a ScanGuage II and program it for 7% and get it to match your GPS reading, then just look at the ScanGuage to know your actual speed. That's what I do. I still get tickets though.

Of course on the plus side, the odo is reading 7% low too.

My spedo is off by more than 10%, when I'm at 30mph on my spedo my gps says 35 and at 40, gps reads 46 and at 50 it's usually 56 or 57, it hovers around there.

Looks nicer! Not sure if you got 3" from 912's...sounds a little steep. Wanna know your mph look at your gps, most if not all have a mph guage, unless you dont have a gps.

[Exclamation]

Yea I just posted about what my spedo said compared to my gps spedo.

My spedo is off by more than 10%, when I'm at 30mph on my spedo my gps says 35 and at 40, gps reads 46 and at 50 it's usually 56 or 57, it hovers around there.

According to the Discount Tire website tire calculator, your speedo differance should only be off by 3 MPH (meaning you're traveling 3 MPH faster than your speedo reading).

I used your OEM 245/70R16 versus new 265/75R16, which calculated the following:

Speedo reading 30 MPH = 32.48 Actual
Speedo reading 40 MPH = 42.91 Actual
Speedo reading 50 MPH = 53.64 Actual

[Exclamation]

Possibly my spedo was already slightly off before moving to bigger tires? because mine for sure reads over 45mph on my gps at 40 on the spedo.

How much lift and what size tire do you think is you're opinion of the sweet spot? Is it based on how you personally feel or how proportional it looks?

[tom4bren]

That is VERY much a 'personal preference' thang. I personally think that the VX was made for offset - but I seem to be in the slight minority on that issue (last comment is dripping with sarcasm).
