wheel size & auto box performance - bigand
I have put 17 inch alloys (205/40/17 tyres) on my VW Vento auto instead of the stock 14 inch (185/60/14) wheels. I have used a tyre size convertor and this shows an increase of just 3.2% in the overall circumference. Will this have an effect on the gear change for my auto box?

No. A tiny bit of wear on the 17's and they'll be within the allowable size range of the 14's anyway.
