14 Inch Wheel Option - 7/11/2006 10:05:48 AM

My Accent owner's manual identifies a 14 inch option for my 2002 Accent (using tire size 185/60 HR14). Has anyone stepped up to the 14 inch wheels from the stock 13's? What, if anything, was necessary in recalibrating the speedometer to accomodate the larger diameter?

What other adjustments/accomodations are necessary that I haven't mentioned?

Thanks.

Guess 17" is the max for Accent, but then again your FC will be damn high

well you should be able to go as high as 17'' rims...with out having to adjust for your rpm's and speedo. just compare it to your stock size side by side.
