When I say Nissan, I mean globally. So you are right about the 18" and 19" having the same issue, as all factory specs will produce a smaller circumference than what is required for a 100% accurate speed reading. We will either have to calculate a larger
TOTAL circumference or get the speedo adjusted.
Then again, maybe this design by Nissan and all manufactures is to make us all reduce our speed? hmm

I got 19" rims and ran tyres as per Jap/US spec.
ie front 245/40/19 and rear 275/35/19 as opposed to Aussie front 225/50/18 and rear of 245/45/18.
if you do the calculations - the overall heights of the rims are negligible
my speedo is off too! Nissan will not adjust unless it is 10% out. I raised this issue on the forum this year.
So I do about 10km higher and I am fine - ie keeping up with traffic.
