37s and speedo

as all my lift kits are finally here im going on with 37x13.5x20

The problem is, that Croatian law mandates the speedo to be at least 1% below actual speed...
I already changed to maxed value via forscan for 33s...

What are my options here?

Wildtrak 2018 3.2 auto

Firstly, have a read of this long running thread - https://www.saeb.net/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=214

The transmission computer (TCM) will probably need to be updated otherwise it won't behave very nicely. However, I don't know if the TCM can be changed enough to support 37".
Do Arctic Trucks in Iceland play with Ford Rangers? 37" would be a small tyre for them.

Start with the thread above.

Maybe send it over then yes I can fix it 100%.

Being I'm not going to Croatia this week then you maybe have to look toward BPT Motorsport and get Barry to make appropiate changes to a TCM file and send a unit over.

Hi Saeb,
can you help to a PX1 as well?
I don't need to get to 37 (35 would be nice) but you might remember that I had raised the question already in the past.
I can not not see any option in Forescan when connected to my2016 (PX1 equivalent) BT50
Cheers

You will not do it to a PX1, options are hardcoded in the BCM and cannot be changed.

Thanks Stewart for clarifying.
So back to the old-fashion mechanical adjustments for the engineering certificate ;-)
And I assume changing over to a newer BCM would probably open a can of worms in terms of compatibility issues?

Cheers

Nothing newer even in a current BT50 will help you. PX2 electronic components are not compatible with a PX1 at all so unfortunatly your out of luck.

You could dissasemble the cluster and move the speedo needle back about 15km, not sure if they would say anything but at least it would be closer to 100, 100.
