    Odometer

    Will my odometer have more or less miles on it per mile if I put 17s on it? Is there any way of adjusting it?

    it depends on the over all size diff,wheel & tire.
    if the over all size is bigger it will slow down the spedo thus,
    putting less miles on the odometer.of corse if it smaller it will go faster putting more.

    you cant adjust it... thats illegal I think... You dont want to get the incorrect plus size for your wheel/tire setup though because it will mess up your syncros... and speedo. If you want 17's you should get 205/40-17's but that will still be off slightly...

    you can roll ur odometer back though its illegal, its possible. But why would u wanna do it? Your engine still got the same miles, u cant reverse it.

    You could prolly get it adjusted somewhere. Maybe a good performance shop that knows Hondas. I want to get mine adjusted when I get big wheels.

    the amount that it is off should be so slight that it won't really matter. anybody who changes their tire size faces the same thing.
