What car?

If not tire size, it could be an internal speedometer problem. This thread in the 2nd gen FAQ has info on fixing that sort of problem.

Head up to the 2nd gen FAQ, as it contains tire sizing as well as options and features standard for every model. Maybe spend just a few minutes figuring out what you have so that you can provide some info so that we have a much better chance of being able to answer.

What model is your car? The base model 4 lug came with 14s.

Find out what model you have. Or just look in the driver's side door jamb. It should tell you the stock tire size on a label with the GVWR.
