Wheel Tire combo sizing!

Hey guys, Im looking at getting some new wheels and tires for my SS/SC.

The ones I want are 225/40/18 with a +34 offset.

How much of a diff will the "40" make on my speedo and will the +34 work?

Thanks,
Jeff

Perfect! Thanks bud!

It says I will be off +2.117%. So I guess that means if the speedo says 100km/h I would be doing 102.117km/h.

Thats not too bad at all!

How about teh +34 offset? Is that going to be okay? Will that make the wheels stick out or in? They are a deep dish wheel
