so
(2*90)+457.2 = 637.2mm
and measuring across the wheel (ie from front to back rather than up and down) will get rid of the error due to flattening where the tire meets the ground
just a suggestion
Does anyone have the wheel sizes for both GT-R and FT-86? With a reasonable correct numbers, the scaling factor can be calculated quite easily. (Unfortunately I do not have those numbers..... )
