If you use the right tyres you'll have no effect on the speedo.

Just make sure they're 5x114.3 and the offset isn't too large. You'll also need spigot rings down to 64.1mm.

Any pics? Fair few 2.2s on this forum with aftermarket wheels!

Depends on the width but if they're 7-8" wide you'll need 225/40/18.
