Default 18's on my car


I'm thinking about putting 18's on my 2006 EX and was wondering, if I do will that throw off my speedo and if it does, can I take it to the dealer and get the speedo recaliberated?

get 18's with lowering springs :D look @ my car domain or myspace they come out nice do this profile size , 225/40/18ZR

205 or 215 will make the enitre tire too small compared to the 225 , YES i know the hight of the tire is the 40 but the overall thing that makes the tire big is the 225 vs 215 , ask your local shop to bring same tire 40 series with 225 vs 215 u'll know what i mean

I got the same set-up (225/40 ZR18) and they are working out fine, don't notice any speedo problems either (I cruised by a constuction zone with one of those radar trailers that tell you how fast your going). If there is a difference it must be minimal.
