Got my wheels put on today 18x7.5 Tenzo's. How does it affect my odometer, do it put more miles on my car or less because its a bigger wheels. Should i re-calibrate my speeometer too ?

Less miles with bigger wheels. Your speedo is probably more accurate than it was with the stock wheels.

doesn't depend on the wheels, depends on the tires.
if your new tire is bigger (in circumference) than oem, you'll be covering more actual miles than your odo says and your speedo will read lower than it used to for the same actual speed.
and vice-versa for a smaller tire...
I don't think there's any way to recalibrate the speedo.
look at tire sizes here:

bigger tires means less miles isnt because the wheels take a longer rotation than if a smaller wheels less than stock.
