Will I need to get my computer updated from mercedes? Because the car was running previously the stock wheels which were 275 55 r20, currently changed to ml63 295 40 r20 wheels.Because I assume this will affect my speedo meter reading. My GL is EU/AUS version not US so did not come with the 295 40 r21 like the US GL550(GL500 is name in Aus and uk for the GL550).

Your speedo will be off. That's about it. Not sure you can correct with the computer.

6.67% difference. Are you sure the original tires were not 275/50/20's? That's the tire that comes on the vehicle. The difference would be 5.19% from the stock tire size.
