a way to adjust the speedometer
hi, i was wondering how to adjust the speedometer once i go for bigger wheels? im planning on going with 17s with about a 45 width.
you should try to keep them them the same diameter... if you get bigger wheels. you just get thiner sidewall tires. the total diameter will stay the same if you pick the right size.

You would have to adjust the speedo by swapping the driven gear on the speedo cable. I don't know of any company that makes a different gear, though.
You can retain proper operation of the speedo by simply choosing the right tire size.
This will help you figure out how to adjust the speedo, based on gear size:
