well, running the 40 series drops the OD to 23.8 vs 24.6, which is 8/10 of an inch difference. Thats a pretty descent drop. It could slightly afftect the speedometer and odometer, but it shouldnt be a huge difference. it will also drop the load capacity and make the ride a bit harsher.

i had 215/40/17's on my rims and my spedometer only ended up being off 3mph when i was traveling at 100mph. traveling at normal speeds, it wasnt off enough to even speak of.
