15 inch rims with low profile tires on them are very close to stock, cut and passte this into your browser

For a wagon that had 185/75/14s on it the 205/60/15s are actually a bit smaller making your speedo' 1% too fast. For a sedan that came stock with 185/70/14s it is 2% too slow, both way inside the limits for error on a spedometer.
