New shoes for my car!

[SaltWaterFish]

Cobra 18x9 rims, 275-40 out back and 245-40 upfront, BFG g-force rubber.

Will I have any probs with the speedo being right? Did have on 225-55-16's.

your speedo may be a little off, but i dont think its anything to worry about. If the cops are strict where you lift, i'd back off the cruise a little.

The 18" tire is 1" taller than the stock tire. You will be moving faster than your speedo will indicate.

275/40-18 = 26.66" OD
225/55-16 = 25.74" OD

At 60mph on your speedo, you'll actually be going 62.1.
70mph = 72.4
80mph = 82.8

Not bad off. Probably within the factory variance from reality.

Looks good btw.

I'm a transplant from Belmond,IA. Been here about 3 years. Lived in WDM for a while and would like to move back.

Looks good, but why didnt you go with a 275/35 or a 285/35 so the tire would be the same diameter?

I got them from a guy at work, so that is the way they came. Looks like a 255 would have worked better on the front.
