Changing to bigger wheels?

Out of curiosity, what needs to be done to the car if you move up tire sizes? I imagine the speedo and miles and all that would be off... thanks!

Depends on how big of a change you're talking about. It all depends on the Outside Diameter of the tires. I believe the stock height on a SS is 28.7". What size are you going up to??

Thanks! I'll take a look.

I was just thinking of whether or not a tweak would be needed moving from stock LS 18's to 20's. My friend was thinking about doing it and I told him it would because the car is calibrated to a certain diameter and whatnot. I may need to do it eventually, too, so yeah.
