Here you go....

check that out
If your stock size is 215/55/16 (as it is on 97-99 SEs), and you put 225/50/16 tires on same rims, when your speedo is reading 60 mph, you are actually going 58.9 mph.... it's 1.8% too fast.....

I ran 225/50/26 this season for track and autocross events. I discovered Konstantin is right under these circumstances, but you may not notice on the street. Next season, I'm going back to 215's.
