How do you recalibrate speedometer and odometer on 1995 Chevy 1500 z71 with 35 inch tires and lift kit?
Jet Accu Speed Speedometer calibrator. It adjusts your speedometer for bigger tires or gear change. Only works on automatic transmissions.
Why do you calibrate speedometer after bigger tires are installed?
You recalibrate it because bigger tires mean different speeds... for example, lets say your car had 14 inch tires... and your speedometer is saying that you are going 50, if you add 20 inch tires which is 6 inches bigger, you might be going around 60-70. No need to get a speeding ticket. Bigger tires cover more road then smaller tires, for example for ever 1 turn from a 20 inch tire is like 1 and ahalf turns from a 14 inch... Hope Ive helped you understand why :)
How do smaller truck tires affect the truck?
If you change your tyre size without switching out the rear end gears to compensate for it, you'll run lower speeds at higher RPMs (which gives you more pulling torque, but kills you on mileage and overall top speed), and your speedometer will show you going faster than you actually are (unless it adjust it to compensate for the smaller tyres).

Will 17 inch tires and rims from a 2007 silverado fit on a 2000 silverado with 16 inch tires and rims will it screw up speedometer reading?
The Rims will fit as long as they are the same number of studs and puting 17 inch rims on will not screw up your speedo as long as the tires you use have the same outside diamiter. If they are the tires that came with the original 2007 silverado they will be the same outside diamiter as your 16" wheels and tires You can also adjust for larger tires on the speedometer with a hypertech controller.
