speedometer re-calibration

I now have a 2000 F150 4x4 Triton 5.4l that I bought last year. A Previous owner lifted it and put non stock wheels on it.
My problem is the speedometer reads 15-20% higher that actual speed. Normally bigger wheels would show it running at a lower speed?
I have a Superchips Microtuner 2001 (1700) that has been unlocked from another F350 diesel power-stroke.

I am wondering if I can use this microtuner to calibrate this F150 speedometer? Anybody with experience with this idea?

nope, it won’t work



time for a custom tune or a device that is compatible with your truck

I doubt a tuner will access the PSOM in your truck
Find someone with a NGS
