Dealer can't reprogam the speedo's in these cars, it is not possible. Also, there are no gears that drive the speedo, it is a 30 tooth ring that that speed sensor reads by a magnet. I know that was extremely simple but that is how that works.

As far as that tire throwing it off, it is not going to be all that significant, I wouldn't be overly concerned.
What about the Getrag 5spd?
I know back in the day like with the Th350 in my Grand am its a gear.. but thats old tech...

Your telling me their is no way to reprogram the speedo?
I know that with the newer Gm trucks you can get a device that allows you to reprogram for say a taller tire.. or w.e... seems odd that no one has one for the N body, or the FWD gm cars...
And even more odd that it "isnt possible"
