Default Side-affects on bigger wheels

Im lookin to get bigger wheels. Probably 17's. I have stock size now. When I do make this change, how badly will it affect my speedometer. And how easy and costly would it take to get it reset.

depends on the profile you want to run...

use this link, it'll give you an idea of what you want to get...

they say you're supposed to stay within 3% of your original diameter of tire...

When you change your wheels, use this calculator and then it won't affect your speedo. (As long as the outside diameter of the tire stays the same, the speedo will be correct.)
