but if you\'re using the same dimension for both 16\" and 17\", you won\'t have any problem. try go to dealer and ask for what happen.

it\'s the zoom zoom factor.. seriously... http://sawicki.netrulon.com/images/smileys/3dbiggrin.gif

if you want to be accurate, check out a map (streets and trips or perleys) or better yet the shiznazzle of all maps ;) (http://maps.google.com/) and check the distance driven with distance charted. if it\'s off by say 500m-1km on a longer trip then you have nothing to worry about. i put 6000km+ in 6 weeks and i was like W000T? http://sawicki.netrulon.com/images/smileys/eek1.gif where did it go? just drive it and enjoy it
