Changing tire size, regearing and computer update

[poppastar]

My '25 GT manual has 255/40x19 all around which are 27" in diameter. In time I'd like to go wider (and likely as a result ending up with summer tires).

I'm reading that the computer can be updated with Forscan for a change in tire diameter but all 4 have to be the same diameter and that there's no workaround to this? I'm thinking that can't be right so looking for some guidance here.

This might be the wrong forum to ask but I'm also looking to regear from 3.55 to 4.09. I've got a shop capable of it and my research indicates since I have a manual only Forscan is needed to updated the vehicle. Sound about right? Below is a screenshot from a Gemini search and my Iconic Silver Gt Nite Pony.

Thanks!

Same size front and rear are not required... DH and GT PP cars have 27" front and rear is 27.7.

Edit: biggest thing is to have the correct rear tire size in the computer.

You'd have to use forscan to change it. The three closest dealers to me insisted it couldn't be done and talked to me like I'm crazy unless my dealers just suck.

Also asked my dealer about this. They said it wasn’t possible. I just think they didn’t want to look into it

I used a Ford Procal 4 for adapting the car to a new tire size and a change from 3:15 gears to 3:55. It worked for flawlessly and took all of 5 minutes to do.
