If ur wheels need balancing and tracking sorted, does it affect the top speed? cos i can only reli hit 70 atm. Also how much does ur speedo go out by with bigger wheels?

well unbalanced wheels will affect everything mate, but will mainly shake your whole steering column, rack etc so would advise to balance them lol
