New Tires and speedometer question

Hey guys, finally went out and bought new sneakers for my Dakota. For about
a month I was reading up on tires and writing to you guys for information
and advice. It all paid off!!!
My 94 Dakota 4x4 ClubCab is sporting BFGoodrich All-Terrains, size
31x10.5x15 on American Racing's AR46 chrome 15x7 rims. I love the new look!!!
I had to remove the front air dam. The tires were crunching it pretty good.
The tires rub just a little on tight turns, but I dont do that to often.
I have been getting so many good comments about the truck. I'll have to
scan in a picture and send it in to the site.
I also removed the wide pinstripe that ran the length of the truck and
across the tailgate. I think it made the side of the truck look to busy.

One thing I forgot about by going to a bigger tire was that it changes my
speedometer readings. It seems to be about 4mph off. How do I go about
finding a correct speedometer gear? I actually can live with it, but if its
easy to figure out the gear, I would like to do it.

Thanks for all the information you guys gave me, it paid off.
