I was talking to a friend about getting new wheels and tires. Right now i have the stock wheels on and im going to get 17's. Would this affect the reading of the speedomter or odometer?

probably will a tiny bit, but shouldn't much. Try this website that will tell you the difference between factory and aftermarket tire sizes:

above mentioned site is a mecca for many car entusiasts young and old for many years now.
Likelyhood of your speedo being affected is 100% unless you replace size for size.
ie 185/60/r14 vs 205/55/15
will impact your spedometer by 3 miles per hour.
its not that big of a deal. you kind of adjust to it over time and learn to keep speed - or + whatever the difference is.

The size is on the tire wall. Something like: 205/55/15
I think that's the standard GT size.
Which means you want to buy tires sized: 215/40/17
Which has a rolling radius 0.4% different, which is no different at all, and your speedo will be fine

what about ur odometer? would it make a difference in milage?
^ it will effect your ODO by the same percent. the difference is really small if you get the right tire size
