Default hypothetical question

i was just thinkin bout this. say you swap a integra engine into a civic, as well as 'teg ecu. wouldnt you then need to get rim/tire combo to match a 'teg original tire/combo circumfrence to keep the speedo same. i am assuming that the ecu calculates rotations by circumfrence, and time, and turns it into mph or kph, and then send that data to the speedometer. am i right here or missing something?

or u could do nothing cuz if any the differences r very minimal if there is any, only time there would be an difference in ur speedo is goin big on ur rim/tire combo. like ridin on dubs. that would make a difference.

I was going to say. Integra and Civics share the same ratio of tire sizes:

Civic 185/65x14" AND 195/55x15" (for the 99-00 Civic Si)
Integra 195/55x15"
