I don't recall reading any post about success in a speedo recalibration for
diff tire sizes. Otoh, the speedo reads optimistic anyway, so maybe you
will be very close to actual speed with the new wheel/tire combo.

I went from 18s to style 132 19s and with some fuzzy arithmetic I came to
that conclusion. Different tire size vis a vis the new wheel combo would get
your closer, but for ~6% in combo with the notoriously optimistic speedo,
I would call it a draw and not give it much worry, imo.
