Your gonna want some wider tires. Unless your going for that poked and stretched look (which is stupid).

Pretty sure unless you go more than 18" your spedo should be fine as the circumference dosent change just the amount of rubber on your wheels.

You'll be fine. Width doesn't effect it, height does.
