I have the same problem, some days its closer than other. Now mine isnt that bad, but its off like a good 7MPH atleast about all the time. I would just take it to the dealership, but they are gonna take you to the cleaners

if you get bigger rims/tires which guessing by our pic you did it will throw off the speedometer you can try and find the difference or have it re-calibrated.

This sounds more like a sticking problem in the speedo or maybe something electronic and this should be under warranty as long as your not past 3 years or 36000

yeah it could be because of getting larger tires, or if you obviously didn't re-flash (or tune) your engine properly. But otherwise, I would go straight to the dealer on that one.

The cluster or the PCM is giving the wrong reading.
Check your HighSpeedCanBuss wiring.
