Recalibrate the computer of the car with bigger wheels?
I replace my 99 wheels with the 02 aniv. wheels that are 17'x9

Do I need to recalibrate the speedometer?

If the tires are 275/40/17, then no.

You should, but it won't that big a difference in your speed and odometer readings, but on the other hand if your tires are the same diameter, then no.

going from a 245/50/16 to a 275/40/17 changes the overall diameter from 25.6in to 25.7in, so no changes should be necesary
