You have to factor in gear ratio, gear, and overall tire diameter to calculate your speed. you've only provided 1/2 the equation

You put in a GSR cluster and making sure your speedo worked wasnt the first thing on your list????

LOL serious gs-r rims do not = a tire size.
So your rims are 15'' in diameter, do you run tires? The last time I checked tires add diameter to wheels.
195/50/15? = 22.6''
195/55/15? = 23.4''
205/50/15? = 23.07
225/50/15? 23.8''

Quick way to check is to barrow a hand held GPS system from a friend. It will give you a speed reeding if you travel at a constant speed for a while.

or you could do it the getto way and get a friend with a stock car and ride beside him on the interstate and have him call on a cell phone you and tell you how fast you're going.
