And forgive the newbie question on tires...

"Speaking of tires, you'll want to buy slightly larger diameter tires to fill out the wheel wells better."

Wouldn't bigger overall diameter tires mess up the speedometer?

My current OE tires are 235/50R18 on style 113 rims (18x8 ET46). I was looking at going with black Enkei Tuning Raijin's (18x8.5 ET38) with 245/45R18 square or 255/45R18 square. There is a 19x9.5 ET35 Raijin which could take 255/40R19 for a meatier look, but I was concerned with wheel well clearances and camber issues. I don't want to drop $2K and find the tires & rims don't work. I'm debating between Michelin Pilot Super Sports and Continental ExtremeContact DWS. I think I am leaning toward the Continentals because the car will see snow eventually and I like the tread look.
