You can try a few settings on that, 26, 27.5, 29 and see what you come up with.

What is your tire size? Some places have different "sizes" make sense?

Usually when tire size is used for calibration, they mean diameter of the tire based on the total outside circumference.

Get a GPS speedometer app for your phone and check the speed shown on that compared to the bike. Once you do that, try adjusting the wheel size to get the most accurate reading on the bike speedometer.

With the soft tire deformation on my bike 28.5 was the sweet spot to get the mile per hour correct.

Just make sure you are going at a consistant speed for a few seconds before checking your speedometer against GPS. GPS calculates speed by tracking how long it takes to go a certain distance. So if your speed varies you may not get a true comparison.
