Yeah i know but there appears to be answers to this question where some say yeah and others nay.
I have a stock 200 lc with KDSS with stock alloy 17inch rims...tyre placard says 285/65 tyres required
will 285/70 tyres fit without having to have a
suspension lift.

Yes.....i owned a vx with steel bar, scrub bars, and winch on std
suspension which was sagged....and 285/70/17 tyres, no scrubbing at any articulation. You will get worse economy, which is partially because your travelling further than indicated (by 4%) but spedo will be accurate....also harder to keep in 6th due to throttle position being further down to maintain momentum.

I was on the impression that the speedo will change because of tyre size but not the Odometer, this is because the odometer comes from the Gearbox/Transmission. .
This was told to me by a mechanic at a Holden dealership when I questioned him on my speedo being out 8 kph.
I am happy to stand corrected due to my source. lol
Cheers.
