Depends on the tire size you got. If you put 245/45 17's or 275/40 17's, then the difference in speed will be like a couple tenths of a second off, nothing that will be noticed expecially when you figure the speedometer is off by 1-2mph to begin with.

I went from stock (15's i think) to 245/45 18's and mine was off maybe 1 mph. It does depend on tire size too.

Use this tool to figure out how accuarate your speedo will be after you change tire/rim size.
