speedometer calibration-wheel size??

ok, so when increasing your wheel size fom stock,...you need to have your speedometer re-calibrated,..correct? since diameter of new wheel makes difference in time to make one whole rotation,...or something like that,..

my question is, where can i have his done? just any car repair shop? or some place that "specializes" in that ****?

As far as all of us know, it can't be done in this car. Just deal with it.

just use the tire calculator on this site and know what you'll be off by. If its slower tha acutal, then you'll be fine. If its faster than actual, just drive a little slower.
