It really depends on what kind of car you have. Turbo? S? I believe that they have different gears in the speedos to comp for the different factory installed tires, i'm not totally sure though.
I have an S, 185/65R15 stock. I believe the SPG and turbos came with 195/60R15's. The width if the rim does not play any factor in. Only the difference in the outer area of the rim/tire makes an effect on the speedo, since the outer circumferance (spelling?!), when incresed takes less spins to travel the same difference. Vise versa for smaller...
Hope this helps,
