    As far as tire size effecting your speedo... as long as the height of the tire is the same it will be unaffected. The diameter of the wheel doesn't matter. If you want to go with bigger wheels you'll need tires with a lower profile sidewall. That way the total height of the tire will be the same.

    Any tire shop can help you find the right set of tires to use with bigger wheels.
