The idea when doing this is to install a tire with a shorter sidewall. It's the overall diameter of the tire you are looking to match. If your stock set up has a tire with an overall diameter of say 26" then you'll want to find a tire with the same overall diameter in the 20" version. However, you aren't going to have much sidewall left on the tire with the 5" change you're making. Watch out for potholes or those rims are toast. Tire Rack online allows you to shop tires by size and you can click on the specs. The diameter will be listed there. Keep plugging in tire sizes until you find the ones that match.

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.
