    Ummm, I think the biggest you can safely get on their and keep the stock height is 245/45R17. I don't believe 275/40's will fit.

        Yeah, but that also yields a slight speedo error and, correct me if I'm wrong, a slight odometer error as well.

            Well to you too

            Seriously, does it also cause an odometer error as well?

            Also, check your PM's
