Question Speedo accuracy post wheel size change...

I am going to change my stock 16" wheels on my UK MY98 for 17s.

Can someone explain to me how this affects the speedo accuracy and what you do about it?

Many thanks

Matt

It does'nt You get a lower profile tyre thus keeping the same rolling radius

i.e 215/40/17
