Smile Need Wheel info

Hey guys,
I'm lookin to purchase a set of 1997 17" SS wheels for my 94 Z28. In order to keep the speedometer accurate, am I supposed to program the computer or change a gear, or is the ride height just about the same? Thank you for your help.

Speedometer calibration has nothing to do with the diameter of the wheels, overall tire diameter does. If your new tires are the same, or very close to the same height as your current tires, then you'll realize no difference with the speedo.

I just checked the specs on a tire calculator. Everything is identical so I'm good to go. Thanks C69
