Default Recalibrating Speedometer

If I get larger rims (18s or 19s), how do I get my speedometer recalibrated for the larger tire size? Is that something anyone can do or do I have to go to a specialist?

most of the time, you can get the right sized lo-pro tire, and the overall diameter doesn't change.

You can adjust it with a Apexi rev speed Meter and you can also remouve your speed limiter too.many of my friends have one and they work great on many cars.

Default Removing Speed Limiter

Thanks CamryRR. Removing the "speed limiter" is also something that I am really interested in. Any other info, such as chip-mods...bypassing...or after market do-hickies that remove the speed limiter would be greatly appreciated. Weblinks to sources would be great also.

Thanks in advance for your help!!
