Just buy the right lower profile tyres, its much easier!!

Use the calculator half way down the page to work out the closest match of tyre.

Oh, and the VSS wire, is that data coming from transmission, front or rear wheels, ABS sensors?
See the sensor in the photo above - on the gearbox. Basically any change in wheel or gear size further down the drivetrain is going to fool the speedo.

Remember though, tyre deflection is another factor
