it is, the wheels are connected to the gearbox

wheels rotating slower-gearbox turns slower-lower indicated MPH

So a 180/50/16 in essence is 18" overal size
You then upgrade rim size to 17" and take 25mm off the tyre width thus 25mm tyre width which would be 180/25/17 and still leaves you with 18" overal size

Just my 2ps worth but idk
