Default Adjusting Speedo in a crx si

Hey guys is there any way to adjust a speedo in a crx. Mine has been calibrated for 195/60/15 tires which suck on the car. If I decide to autocross it this year I will buy something better like a 205/50/15 which is a lot smaller. Any way to adjust it?

lol they aren't that big of a difference to need to recalibrate the speedo its only guna be off maybe 2-3 mph if that...
use this tire calculator it shows the rpms only being 400 off not much don't worry bout it ..

Then how come my b series swap has a perfect speedo on a da trans when its stock size was a way smaller 14 inch over my huge 15. Speedo was gps checked up to 100mph and was maybe 1mph off at that point.

LMAO your talking about .60 of a inch its not enough to change the speed o truly buy your new tires and set them next to the tires you have now they will be almost identical and its not going to change the speed o no more then 2-3 mph

I found an ee8 euro speedo that registers primarily in mph up to 150mph. Does anyone know exactly how to calibrate these things?
