How off will my speedo be?

i just purchased 4.44's and a cusco RS 2 way lsd. now i know only the gears will make a difference, but i also have 18" rims. so is it worth it for me to buy the yellow box from ricks? or will the difference in the speedo be min? thanks

Assuming your 18" tires have about the same overall diameter as the OEM tires, then your speedometer will read between 8%-11% high. Even with stock gears and tires, the speedo is a couple percent high.

Get the yellow box. It is definitely worth the $90, considering depreciation from all the fake miles.

I thought you were going to buy G35 coupe.
