How much will changing from 175/70 R14 to 185/75 R14 size tires throw your speedometer off ?

Well, considering that the rolling diameter of the 185/75 is greater than the 175/70, you will see slightly slower speed display and your odometer will also register incorrectly.
More importantly, you need to make certain that you will have sufficient clearance, particularly during "loaded" turns.

Why the change?
