Default Question about speedo

I recently lifted my 08 ram 6 inches and threw on 18 in rockstars and 35 nitto mud grapplers. Does anyone have any idea how much my speedo will be off from stock 20's? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Lets see if a old sailor can give you a little schooling....
Stock wheel on 20" is 33". You now have 35's so that would be 33/35=.943 so subtract .943 from 1 = .057 so I would guess close to 6% error. good luck ....

i have 35s on mine and it depends but i am about 5mph off on my speedo. rim size dont really matter. its tire size. but its prolly around 3-5mph. get a buddy with a stock truck to drive next to you on the hwy and when you get to a constant speed have him check his speedo and tell you and compare it to your speedo. i know mines off that much because i got pulled over goin 79 and my cruise was set at 74.
