    Speedometer Calibration

    When you increase the rim size on your car (ex. going from 14" rim to 16" or 17") do you need to have your speedometer re-calibrated to accomidate the new size so that you get an accurate reading? If so, where and how would you go about doing it?

    if you go up size in wheels just drop down size in sidewall, this will keep the overall circumference of your whell teh same, and you will not loose anything on your speeo calibration.

            Yeah the Miata tire calculator is an invaluable tool. You should be able to find a new tire size that doesn't affect the speedometer by more than 1mph.

              yeah, I actually used that to make my speedo more accurate, it was shooting about 2 mph low. . . so I just put on 195s and I'm set.
