No it isn't.

All three of my spreadsheets have a better calculator than that. Mine even tells you what tooth speedo drive you need.

Fair comment.

I'm very grateful for yours Dave, i used it to calc my req'd tyre size/ rear gearing etc. It was easy to use & gave me the confidence to buy lots of stuff and be pretty sure it'll all work together.

To be honest i used this one to find what rim width i need for a 160 bike tyre, not sure yours covered that ;)

dave is your spreadsheet/calculator available for all to use, as ive put mustang wheels on my dodge and cooper tyres, the orignal ralleye wheels were 14" with 205/70 tyres, the mustang wheels are 15" and ive fitted 235/60 tyres the calculator i used said at 70mph my car would be doing 72.22mph so im presuming 30mph would be 30.95mph

I usually just convert the tyre width to inches and reason that the wheel wants to be anywhere from between the same width and 1.5 to 2.0 inches narrower (you can get away with a narrower wheel with a fat tyre).

But I could add something to do that I guess?

I forgot I was going to add a wheel size feature wasn't I?
