I have an 89 240 with 15" turbo wheels on the back, and the speedometer is about 7-10 Mph to fast. Is there any way to remedy this?
Thanks

240 wagons and sedans use different size tires, so what are you driving??

Match your tires to the diameter of the original spec for that car to get the speedo to read right.

See a tire size calculator at

What size tires are on it? They should be 195-60-R15.
