damn B, sorry to hear about this...DEF. go to court, use the calibration and downhill grade but just tell the judge you know your guilty...BUT (fill in __________) with your excuse/justification. you should be fine...good luck!!

 

Speedometers seem to lose accuracy the faster you go, here's the mitsubishi tolerances:


This should give you an idea of how much your speedometer should be off because of the change in wheels:

That said... larger wheels make your speedometer show that you're going slower than you are. I wonder what it would say if you had a set of 20s for the calibration.

 

Exactly.long ago i had a mustang with 14's i put on 16's i was 20 over got off.i used this excuse.

 

Damn B sorry to hear. Hope you get it all sorted out

 

Sorry to hear that Brian. When we left the mall I took 108 back. I figured with the lights I wouldn't speed as much. If you hadn't been saying so much about the cops and it being the end of the month I probably would have been flying down 100.

 

Sorry I missed out on the fun Brian, sorry to hear about you're run in with the fuzz. Oh well, April 2K6 curse may get you some good luck for court!
