    After switching from 16 inch steel wheels and tires to 17 inch alloy stock wheels and tires do I need to adjust anything?

    Ie do they set up the car at factory specifically for those wheels and tires.?


    is it such a modest change that my speedometer won't be off and suspension will be fine?

    All depends on tire size. I found 265/70/17's to be perfect. My OE 265/65/17's were off a couple MPH.

    and no there is nothing to adjust.

    I did the same.

    On my 5 lug, I went from 215/70/15 to 235/60/16 to compensate for the larger rim size with a lower aspect ratio tire so as to keep the wheel diameter to within 1% of the original factory diameter.
