It will affect the speedometer. For example, bigger rims will make you go faster than what the speedometer is actually reading. If it say's 50mph with regular rims, then with larger rims you will be going faster.

If a speedometer only goes up to 85 mph does that mean 85 mph is the fastest the truck can go or can it go faster?
The speedometer in any vehicle does not stop a car from going faster, which many cars can go much faster than the speedometers highest number. Sometimes vehicles are limited from the factory to achieve a speed lower than that on the speedometer like my 2006 silverado says 120 but does only 99. However your truck can go faster than 85 mph.
How do check speedometer calibration 1996 Dodge Intrepid?
find a stretch of federal free way and drive at speedometer reading of 60 miles per hour for 10 miles . have a passenger with a stop watch measure time between mile markers. record the time you get on the stop watch, a watch reading of less time of 60 seconds will tell you that you are going faster than the speedometer is reading if it is 57 seconds (five over) or if it takes more than 60 seconds per marker it is reading (5 under).60 divided by the seconds of a stop watch times 60 will tell you miles per hour.60/ 57(stop watch reading from marker to marker) x60 equals 63.15 miles per hour.
