Speedo calibration?
Is there a way to re calibrate the speedo if I were to go with a larger wheel and tire setup? I really like the look of 20's but want something a little more than a 40 series tire. I'd like a little more meat to help keep the ride a little more comfortable..

The speedo currently reads 4-5% faster than the vehicle is actually going, so if you increase the wheel diameter, you may actually get closer to reality.
Keeping the same wheel width and profile as the stock configuration but increasing the diameter by 1" (going from 19" to 20" rims) will impact the speedo by 4.1%. That should get you smack dab on.
