your speedo works via a cable from your gearbox to yuor speedo so disconnecting your battery will not affect it. Was it a little bit jumpy before, needle not moving as smooth as it should. Usally a sign of cable failure.

I have 17's on mine with no arch mods and a 20mm drop and it causes no problems or me.

Hope this helps
