Speedometer Recalibration

I know I saw something about incorrect speedometers readings after installing larger, custom wheels but I can't find it anywhere so I'm hoping someone can help.
I've got a 2004 M3 with 275/30/19 rear wheels and 245/35/19 fronts. My speedometer and odometer is definetly reading high and I'm wondering if there is anything I can do to recalibrate it to read correctly as it did on the stock 255/40/18 rear and 225/45/18 fronts.

Thanks!

Shouldn't make a difference unless the TIRE diameter changes. If the tire diameter is greater, the speedo should read slow, as the wheels turn slower.

M3 speedo's read high...anywhere from 3-5%. You'll find the odometer does not read high, just the speedo.
