Yes, if you get bigger tires it will say you are going slower than you are, and visa versa, you can go to a mechanic to get it recalibrated

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.

How much does tire size effect the speedometer?

The answer depends on the size of the tire in relation to the original tire size. A tire with a smaller circumference will turn more at a given speed, which will cause a higher speed being displayed on the speedometer. A tire with a larger circumference will lead to a slower speed being displayed. The speedometer can be calibrated to correctly display the speed for a different tire size. Changing the size of tires on a vehicle will also change the way the vehicle handles and may cause faster wear on suspension components.
