Interesting... my 285/35's has 11 less revs/mile than stock tires.... so that means my odometer is actually less than what it should say?
didnt use a tuner to adjust tire difference? lol. then yeah probably

and sweet fear, glad you changed your mind.

I don't know nearly enough about wheel/tire sizing as i would want. I went strictly with AM tire size recommendations. 17" wheels- 255/40 on the front and 315/35 on the rears.
I would be very interested in seeing what kind of difference the 275/40 would be aesthetically and would it make a difference affecting the steering pump or turning the wheels in any manner. Also, what about filling out the wheel wells but still extending outwards past the width of the cars body too much? Not an issue, or would be all the better?

I have 275/35 on my car and I really like them. If you are putting 10" on the rear you can really go all the way up to 305s if you have a need for that much grip.
