Maybe a stupid question, but on AP2V1's, doesn't anything past 255 in the back make the diameter of the tire bigger, therefore affecting speedometer?

the 265 is just the width of the tire, the diameter isnt affected, the 40 is the sidewall height

Actually, it's an aspect ratio, so a 265/40 tire is taller than a 245/40 tire by 0.6". Don't post "facts" when you don't know what you're talking about.

I have 255 Star Specs on a 9" wide wheel and the tire looks a little pinched. 265 is too wide on 8.5" IMO.
