On most cars yes, the important thing is to stay close to the same od on tires and not go shorter on the sidewall if it can be avoided since it accelerates wear and causes rough ride.

How much will the speedometer change if you go from a 15 inch rim to a 14 inch rim?

It wont. They will only change when you increase/decrease the size dramatically as the wheel or tire. A one inch change wont make a difference.A more accurate answerIt's true that the size of the rim does not directly have any impact on the speedometer accuracy. But changing the rim size generally means that you'll be changing the size of the tire. The speedometer is directly affected by the circumference of the tire that is used. If you use a tire with a 10% larger circumference, the speedometer will indicate that you're going 10% slower than you really are. If you match the circumference of the 14 inch tire to the circumference of the 15 inch tire, the speedometer accuracy will not change.
