I have the same on mine but 20mm, excellent quality and service.
what wheels you running?
18" amarok steels
I can see most people are running 245/55R19 tyres. Does the speedo being so far out not cause any issues?
dear me No! your speedo will be miles out and could cause a speeding fine
if your not carefull..
it will say 70mph but you will be doing 78mph
245 45 19 is the one to go for its bang on correct speed
Thanks, that was a mistype. I meant 245 not 255.
Even with 245x45R19 at 70 mph my speedo will read 76mph. I don't want speeding issues on my licence after a ban.
No issues with the Speedo. From what I can see it basically corrects any under reading that the Speedo comes with as standard.
Surely if it does then you're going to be less likely to be speeding, not moreThanks, that was a mistype. I meant 245 not 255.

OMG my brain wont work today.
I meant if my speedo reads 70 mph I will really be doing 76mph
where you getting them figures from ?
original tyre - 215/60/17
Amaroks 19s - 245/45/19
My van has 235x55 R17 on. I thought they were original.
Now my brain is hurting
This is 235,/55/17 vs 245/45/19
Thanks, I've just spotted my deliberate mistake. I typed 235x45R17 in the original size box. I've been working with this error for the past hour pr so. My turn to stand on the idiot step.
standard tyre sizes depending on model are
235 55 17
or
215 60 17
so 19inch you can use 245 45 19 or 275 40 19 both are 1.88% taller which is fine as 2.5% taller is the limit for speedo accuracy
there wont be any problems as they are very similar rolling radius
its not rocket science www.tyresave.co.uk/tyre-size-calculator
T6180 definitely knows what hes talking about

I run a similar slightly oversized circumference with 245/50 r18. The speedo still slightly over reads compared to GPS on the level. So all is well.
Some ways to check.
I've generally found the speed displays put up by local councils at the side of the road are generally very accurate, until you get close to them (cosine error starts to kick in).
Maintain a constant safe distance behind a heavy on a motorway. They're restricted to 56mph.
Speak to your local traffic plod. Find out where their measured mile or half mile is marked out on the roadway. (Used for calibrating VASCAR). Run over it at 60mph with a passenger using a stopwatch.

For those that are interested. This is what before an after looks like on the rear with 15mm spacers and Amarok Cantara wheels. It puts the rear wheels exactly the same distance from the arches as the front.
