? about wheel size and speedo
I'm planning on 18s with 245/40/18s all the way around. Is my speedo gonna be off? If so, is there an adjustment that needs to be made?

Try this.

Enter the stock tire specs first then enter your new tire specs.
Look at the "difference" column and the "sidewall" column. If the second set (new wheels) has a positive difference then your new wheels will be spinning more times than your stock wheels. This means your speedometer will be reporting a speed slower than you are actually going. In my case with a 1% difference my speedometer is 1mph off. 60mph on the speedo actually is 61mph.
There was another discussion about this for LS cars here ..
