with the Xcal2, you can account for different
wheel/tire combos. i'm not sure how to solve
your particular problem though.

What's it reading at what speed. If you're not sure have somebody pace you and get both readings, then you can go from there. Original tire makes 768 revolutions per mile. If lets say you're at 50 and your speedo is reading 100 then all you do is adjust the tire revs on your sct to 1536. Just an example

When I'm going 20 it says 70 haha. That's a great idea though. How many revolutions does a 20" tire make? I have 275/35/20 in the front and 295/30/20 in the back...

700 to 850... even knowing the size it could vary that much depending on the brand. what brand are you running in the front?

nice. that's 756 and if you're showing 70 at 20 set it at 2646 revs per mile... i just hope there's gonna be such option because the number itself sounds crazy to me because that's 1 rev per each 2 feet, but try it.

If you make your speed match your new Speedo ... it will mess up your odometer reading won't it?
