you need to change the gear in the trany where the speedo cable goes in .
i don't know witch gear you will need, i would ask some one at a reputable trany shop or a tier shop.

I think it will read slower than u are going b/c bigger tires means you have more surface area to cover for the tire to go all the way around once. I may be wrong.

Bigger tires=slower speedometer reading
Smaller tires=faster speedometer reading
