Default Larger Wheels and Tires

I got a 1998 ram 1500 with the factory 17" wheels, I would like to upgrade to the larger 20x9" wheels and tires you see on the 3rd and 4th generation rams. I put a levelling kit on it that lifted it 2", do you think I'll have a clearance problem? Also will there be a speedometer accuracy issue and if so is that correctable through the computer?

Depends on what tire size you go with. If you end up with the same tire diameter, it won't have any affect at all, aside from the additional weight.....

the new rims wont cause a problem, it depends on the tire
