Yes, to get the proper readings on your speedo and odo, you will need it set in the PCM.
Of course, you will get worse fuel economy with the switch to bigger heavier wheels and tires, the price you gotta pay...

You can go to the dealer and they can reset tire size in your PCM. I am doing it this week, they said 45 buck.. kinda of a rip, but it gets the job done. Also anytime you switch to a lrger heavier tires, the motor has to work that much harder, there more weight and rolling resistance with larger tires.
