Re: '97 Accord Wheels - Help Needed!
The tire size change won't really be great enough to change the speedometer reading so much that you'll even notice. Yes, the rims are much larger, but the tires will be quite a bit lower profile, so while the outside diameter will change it won't be a whole lot. And in any case, the OEM guages are so innaccurate to start with, it won't matter in the end. Fiddling with it would do nothing but break it anyhow - you'd have to change the innards completely. Not something worth doing on a 1-2mph difference made by slightly bigger tires.
As far as rubbing - someone else will have to answer. Haven't done a lot in the way of 18" on an older Honda. I reckon they'd rub some (15x6.5's rub on the inside of my fenderwell during racing and I've only 2" drop), but without lowering the car too, there should be a lot of gap still.
