When you put on bigger rims I know the speed sensor doesn't read it right and will be off by some precentage. How do you change it to reads perfectly, like you still had stock wheels on it?
Speed Sensor changes.

Depends on the vehicle and how the speed is read.Originally Posted by KillTheCrow
Use this to figure out what the difference is: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
most the times for more popular vehicles a lot of companies sell little electronic boxes that you can plug in to set speed right, or most handheld programmers (diablo, hypertech, etc) can do it too.

It'll be 15" rims on a 00 civic. And it'll be off by about 6%, but I want my speedometer to read it correctly.
Why not get the correct tire?
Didn't find any good looking 14" ones. And the drop that I'll be doing would make my bumpers and bottom end scrape till they die or just come off as I attempt to leave my driveway.
No good looking tires? Falken Azenis RT-615's come in 14" any they're cheap for what they are.
