It'll suggest the closest profile for a given wheel diameter and tire width, as well as showing you how far off your speedo will be.

com'on, you can figure that out...........
if you tried those tire combinations, you would see that one is 0% from ideal, so thus that must be the one I based it off of.
I did think this over a fair amount, and here's my thoughts:
The speedo is probably set for one tire size, regardless of what tires you get on your car (ie sport pkg).
The four tire options are:
1.8T stock (15's)
1.8T Sport (16's)
2.8 stock (16's)
2.8 Sport (16's)
so therefore, I went with the 16's.

Mark you need to make your calc be able to show a negative percentage
For example if you go from a 205/55/16 to a 235/40/17 the difference is -1.9%(in otherwords your gearing change based on wheel diameter makes acceleration increase and decreases top speed)

I intentionally took the absolute value
the speed section tells you if you are going faster or slower.
so, then it's just a matter of which is closest to the stock size, so I decided against +/-
However, I did think of putting it back, just to give the user a better visual feeling of where 0% would be.
