Did Wheels Mess Up Speedo?
Monday, April 03, 2006 7:14 PM
When you guys put on your wheels did they mess up your speedometer? If so did you just have someone reset the speedo so it was accurate with the new wheels? I want wheels but if I get wheels then I wont have enough money to buy suspension. I just saw a pic of a cavy with rims and no suspension and it looked terrible. I am now affraid to by rims. Please help me out!

you're right, wheels with a stock suspension looks brutal!
drop it, then rim it!
and if you get the correct tire size your speedo will be fine

its not putting on aftermarket rims and tires that messes up your speedo, its doing this modification wrong that messes up your speedo.

we really need to start pointing people to the FAQ for this kind of thing. if it needs updating, id be willing to throw my expertice in.



Injection is nice but id rather be BLOWN!

I would personally buy suspension first and then wheels like stated above. Once you have the handling right, once you add bigger wheels to the mix, you will be even more stoked at how she handles.

i know i NEED the right size tires, but I would LIKE to have a larger profile tire on 17's so it fills the gap better. i know it will throw off my speedo. Is there a way to flash the computer so my speedo is correct with my tires? I don't even know if that is possible, thats all I want to know.
Thanks
