Upgrading my tires

Hey guys,

So I'm getting 18" 350z rims hopefully tomorrow. Right now, I have stock 15" rims. My question is upgrading to the 18"s will it affect my speedo? I have a '98 GXE, on stock suspension. Thanks.

You just have to find the right tire size to keep your speedo the same.

Cool thanks. It helped me a lot. My speedometer reading is going to be a bit slow...

Oh yeah, another question:

Will it affect my odometer as well?

It would be lower than it's supposed to right? Is there any way to fix it? :\

If you run 235-40s on the front you'll be fine. There really isn't any need to compensate for the .5% difference in the speedo reading.
