I just bought a set of 17inch Wheels and tires off of a 2003 Eclipse GT. Is there anything that I should worry about, resetting the spedo? The tire size is 215/50R

Thanks!

You should note with the 215-50/17s your speedo will be off by just under 3%. It will read faster than you are actually going. I don't know if I'd worry about resetting the speedo unless you want to. Honestly unless you are careful about doing that type of small fixit, it could create more problems than its worth.

For what its worth I have the 2000 Eclipse GT rims with 215-50/17s and I never chose to adjust the speedo accordingly, too much hassle, and besides I keep mine as strictly summer wheels.
