Default Another tire size recommendation question!!

This has probably been answered before so here it goes... so I ordered the saleen style wheels for my 01 stang gt they are 18X9 front and 18X10 rears. am getting 285/35/18 rears (sumitomo's tires) and for front am debating between 275/35/18 vs. 265/35/18. american muscle recommends 275's so speedometers is accurate, but other site recommend 265's so what do you guys think???

the front really wont matter as far as keeping the speedometer accurate. the 285/35 will be about right as far as overall diameter for keeping the speedometer working correctly. with you having a 285 in the rear i would go with the 265 in the front
