maximum tyre size D3 without causing speedo error

Guys am looking to put a set of bigger tyres on my D3 the rolling radius would be 31.6 inches as opposed to the normal 30 inches, have calculated approx 5 % difference over factory standard.
what is the maximum tyre size one can put on a D3 without causing a speedo error, Or can the IID tool recalibrate the speedo to read correctly?
anyone fitted bigger tyres where there any problems with touching body or frame?
thanks

265/65/18's on mine.

Speedo reads about 2% under when new but now 2 years old, probably pretty accurate as
standard size under reads speed by as much as 5%.

No rubbing at all on standard rims and significant improvement in ride quality,

I have heard that there is a setting that allows calibration iro wheel sizes and speedo's accuracy.
think it is available on IID tool - not sure though.
