if u have a foxbody those tires are going to be way to wide for the front, and i think they are to wide for anycar (unless its an autocross car), will be harder to turn, and it shouldnt throw ur speedo off more that 2mph if it is off at all

If you have the newer body style I would go 295 35 18 ZR in the back and 265 35 18 ZR in the front. BFGoodrich G-Forces are good tires but a little expendsive. This is what I got on my stage 3 Roush. It might throw off your speedo a little bit, but if you are going to get gears your going to have to get your speedo adjusted any ways. On the newer body style its not hard to turn at all. [Cool]
