I found that my 16" Toyo T1R's were almost 1/2" smaller in circumference vs. my 17" RA1's. I had the car lowered and it's actually causing problems getting into my driveway, speed bumps etc. The odd part is that the tire sizes are exactly what the manual calls for and when you do the math the 16" overall diameter is smaller :XX My speedo is off and I even scraped the brake ducts on the highway in a construction area on the way home form WG. Like the tires but I may have to sell the wheels and tires and get 17's.
