re-calibration with Rickson 19.5' wheels?

I am considering swapping my 16" oem tires and wheels(265r7516,E) for Ricksons 19.5' wheels with Michelin 24570r19.5 load range F. I asked the Ford dealer if they could re-calibate the truck for the difference in tire size--about 7 %. He said maybe--I would have to pay for them to try and see if it would work with my ECU(?). Has anybody had their truck re-calibrated for larger tires? Is their a Ford site I could get this information from? I have a -04 350 4wd CC short bed. Made 10-03-03. I want to go to the higher rated tires for safety factor with a Bigfoot camper. Thank you.

I just added 35" wheels & lift. The dealer would not re-calabrate the speedo since they did not install the lift & tires due to liability?. The service tech said that it can be done I believe up to 35" tires with a +/- of 2 MPH. I am going to call a speedo shop in town and see if they can do it. Anyone one else have any ideas?
