Just setup to factory stock tires 315/70R17 and enter new tire config, and you should see an estimated difference in speed.

RE: Wheels i just ordered
Thanks... I brought this up because years ago i got stopped for speeding and did not realize the owner of the car that i borrowed had changed the tires and size.. Fortunately I got away with it because I was honet with the officer and told him what happened and we finally figured it out.... Using the calculator you sent me here is what I found out if you are going 60 mph ...
Stock 17's = 60
20's = 55.1 Speedometer Difference: 8.730% too slow
22's = 52.3 Speedometer Difference: 14.55% too slow
24's = 49.8 Speedometer Difference: 20.36% too slow
So... if you are showing 60mph on 24's you actually are going about 72.. if my calculations are right
Stock 17's = 60
20's = 55.1 Speedometer Difference: 8.730% too slow

All 20's, 22's, 24's, etc... will not calculate to those numbers...many tire sizes can be used for the different wheel size combinations.
