96 speedo correct

I have a 96 I-6 F150. One of my rims is bad and ruinined a tire. My buddy has some aluminum rims to give me and they have 32x11.50s on them. I was wanting something that size eventually anyway. What if anything can I do to get the speedo back to correct? I am also a little worried it is going to kill my power and mileage but its mostly going to be a farm truck now anyway so It shouldnt be a big deal, besides I also plan to turbo it eventually.

Thanks Conanski. When I get them on I will do that, seems fairly simple.

Before calibrating, I would check if your speedo is off at all. I recently put a 96 F250 with 16 inch rims and big tires (not sure of the size) PSOM into my 95 F150 with 15 inch rims and regular size tires. The speedo was calibrated perfect! I didn't have to do anything. I would double check.
