Speedometer Options

When you get a larget size rim and tire, you have to update your speedometer, how do you exactly do that? would a 4 wheel alligment do it?

The reason your speedo might be off right now could be that you have either tires that are too tall or too short. Anything that changes the overall diameter of you wheel will affect it. If your speedo is reading 5 miles too fast...your tire diameter is smaller than stock. IF its slower then its too big.

but the easiest way to solve this is to "slow down" a bit...is it that much more difficult to drive at 75mph than 80mph??? Because when you go bigger the speedo will read a bit slower than your actual speed.

Just let off the pedal, and if a cop really wants to pull you over he'll do it. I like it, when i drive with my parents they think im being responsible doin 70-75mph when im really doin 80+!!!

Why go through all the hassle of trying to fix it, when there is a quick fix??
