Tire size change and stock spedometer...?
My stock tires are 195/55-15
I am getting 205/50-15
Will this **** up my spedometer, and make it read the wrong speed?
55 and 50 aren't a guge difference but I am still concerned...
How would I go about fixing this problem?

sup man well i know that most hondas and acuras speedometer are off by 5miles straight from the fatcory so there might be a difference but slightly. so when the gauge says 55 your really doing 50

Get 195/55/15's 
I don't know what you are thinking to do about it. You are changing the diameter of the wheel/tire.
You want to recalibrate your speedo or something?

from what i understand to keep the speedo correct you would need 205/50/16 or 215/45/17 or 185/60/14, not sure what the conversion is if you want to keep the wheels the same size
