SXT Tire Size

I'm thinking about changing the tires/wheels out on a SXT which has stock 17" wheels. I wan't 18's. The tires that come on the R/T(correct me if I'm wrong) are 215/55/18. The ones that I'm thinking about are 235/55/18. Would the 235/55/18 tires work on the SXT Caliber or would this mess with the speedometer?

it may mess with the speedometer, but a trip to a dealership should fix that

Are the dealerships able to 'calibrate'(no pun intended ) the speedometer for bigger tires?
