Should I get new gauges?
I'm putting 17 inch rims on my car (an upgrade from 14's) and was wondering if it will mess too badly with the speedometer's accuracy. Would buying an SRT gauge face solve this? (Is it a direct swap or are the gauges way too different?) Thanks guys

it all depends on what size tire you are gonna run
if you 205/40/17 at 75 you will actaully be going about 74.5 so it is really close wont even notice

You can use this online calculator to determine which size tires will work best and what kind will be off by how much, etc...

Oh and swapping in a SRT cluster will not solve a speedometer being off.
