      Changing Rims

      I'm looking to change my current 185/55r15 tire size to something that is more common and cheaper. Suggestions on rims that will match up without making my speedometer inaccurate. Thanks all.

      Start with changing the rim size to what you want. Realize width changes, and offset as well. Then adjust tire down to what you are comfortable with..


      One thing though, odds are your speedo is already off slightly at certain speeds.. So if it is a choice of being off a little, it ok, if its off more the 5%, try to have to read faster than you are actually going..
