I've recently found this site's speed/rev calculator for each gear in either miles or km/h. Yes it's VW/subi gear related, just scroll down until you find the calculator!

If you don't know your tyre's specs, like me, just convert the diametre in inches to millimetres and go from there. Worked a treat for my research.

I'll be referencing this page in another thread ;)

If you haven't noticed already Ben, you will also have a slight decrease in braking efficiency too, with the bigger wheels, so factor that into your driving!

EJ22 fixed it for me - and 4.11 ratio diffs (later) just made it all the more better!

But yes, any increase in rim diameter will decrease performance and speedo readings.

Why did you go the 14" rims? just for ground clearance? I would just raise the suspension via the factory strut adjustment when going offroad and lower it back down when you're not.
You know you are getting old when the candles on your birthday cake start to cost more than the cake itself.
