How tall are the stock tires then? I cant remember. If I do get the 275's, should I stay with my 40's or perhaps go with 50's? I dont think I should go any lower than 40.
bump^
since I got shorter tires but 1 inch bigger wheels, does that even out and not require a speedo change?

to find the height of your tire you take, for example 275/40, 275 and take 40% of it. So...275(.4)=110 mm, this is the sidewall height.

not to be a b**ch, but there's 10mm in an cm...metric system and american units don't go together that nicely. There's 25.4 mm in and inch.
