The smallest OEM wheels/tires for the EX35 were 225/60R17, and 225/55R18 were optional. I don't believe that there were any tweaks to the speedometer, as the difference in circumference between the two sizes was only 0.4%. Later models had the option of going with 245/45R19, yet the overall difference in circumference is again 0.4%.
I don't think you really have to worry about the calibration of the speedometer as long as you pick one of the OEM tire sizes. The one thing you might want to look into is the wheel offset. I don't recall exactly what they are for the OEM wheels, but it's usually not a problem as long as you're not too far from the original offset or aren't going with a really wide wheel.
I personally have no experience with other wheels, but I am running a slightly smaller tire at 235/55R17. My speedometer does read a bit high when checked against those radar measured speed displays on the side of the road, but I don't remember how accurate my speedometer was to begin with prior to the tire change.
