Default quick tire question

I have 245/45/17's on the front and back. If I put 275/40/17's on the back will my speedo get messed up? I have a speedcal, but it cant calculate two tire sizes.

they are the same height.. and you dont need to calculate the front tires, they have nothing to do with it.. only the back tires count...

It wil effect the speedo, but very little, probably less than 1mph. I wouldn't worry about it.
