Speedometer Reading?

I just wanted to know from someone who has up'd wheel size to 17x7s how far off they think their speedom is now. Thanks.

If the wheels were plus sized correctly, any changes in odometer readings should be negligible.

You can always figure out the correct tire size for bigger rims using math but I went to a junior college so I just go to Tire Rack.

Question

Am I wrong?

Shouldn't the speedometer readings only be off if the total diameter/circumference/radius and other circly things of the ENTIRE tire/wheel setup changes?

...or am I wrong?
