I'm looking to buy new rims and tires for my Si. Can going from the stock to somthing different cause any problems? My friend told me that I would have to have it calibrated so my speed would read correctly. I just thought if the new set came out to the same size there shouldn't be a problem.

calibrated HUH..........


If you stay in the same Diameter as the stock you should be fine..... like if your stock wheel is 15" with a tire of 185/60/r15 then you can go to a 17" with a tire of 205/45/r17 And sill be in the same DIA as stock.........the wheel gets bigger but the tire side wall gets smaller..........(i used those's #s as and example they are not correct.) any local tire shop (knowledgable enough) can set you up right........and not have to" calibrate " your car

Thanks that's what I thought. I'm very new at this.
