your speedo reads the rpm coming out of the transmission, if the tranny turns at a certain rpm, the speedo reads a certain speed. when you add larger tires, the tires will be spinning at the same rpm as when they were smaller but since the circumference is bigger, you'll be going faster. you can, however, get your speedometer adjusted for the bigger wheels. you can get a honda dealer to do it for you. but if you only add bigger rims but keep the overall diameter the same (so you get bigger rims but tires with smaller sidewalls) you won't need to have it adjusted.

Hello Beef Burito

I was looking at alloy wheels at http://www.performancealloys.com and something occured to me. Some people do have bigger rims but not the tyres. As a result, the width of the tyre from ground to the edge of the rim is very small. I hope you understand what im trying to say. Its gives the impression that the tyres are very 'thin'. Now is someone is with those speeds is driving fast , wont the tyres just blow out? Since there is no room for them cushion on?
