Hi guys, I'm looking to buy 16/17" alloy wheels to replace my standard match 15" alloy wheels, however I was wondering what I would need to do to correct my speedo, as my car would be moving faster than the speedo would say? or am I wrong?

You just need tires with the same roll diametre.

As above.

The speedometer will read the same, as the diameter will be the same, you will just have more alloy and less tyre.
