Tire size VS. Speedometer change
Does anyone take into consideration the tire size with the speedometer change? I like to look of 30540/22 but I would like my speedometer to reflect as close to my true speed as possible. This is what I found.
Current Tire Size

Compare against a specific tire size.
(what is this?)
New Tire Size
Original tire:
Sidewall: 5.22 in
Radius: 13.72 in
Diameter: 27.43 in
Circumf: 86.18 in
Revs/mile: 735.18
New Tire:
Sidewall: 4.80 in
Radius: 15.80 in
Diameter: 31.61 in
Circumf: 99.29 in
Revs/mile: 638.10
Speedometer reading with new tire is 15.21% too slow.
When your speedometer is reading 60mph you are actually traveling 67.92mph.

So many of these wheels are not only not very functional for the GX but really cheap looking. It's SO hard to get a set of wheels that are gonna compliment the GX.
These I think are really nice for a more truck/off road tough look but for a luxury look it's not it either.

I will either go with them in silver or Matt Black or get the OEM triple chromes. I don't see any other wheels that really work.

Mine looks exactly like yours, except for the rear spoiler. Love the wheels. Only downside is that the extra unsprung weight of the wheels + the AT/2 tires has affected accel, braking, and mileage a bit more than I'd like. But, I'll put up with it for the looks

I agree! Everything I've see has been very cadillac Escalade looking in my opinion and installing tuner style wheels on this SUV is a defanite No No in my opinion. I've googled pics of "GX470 with 20in rims" and they all burn my eyes with the exception of the pictures below
My favorite so far with 20x9.5 full polish HRE 648Rs 295-45-20 . This looks like a grown mans GX!
