Default 265/35/18 & 235/35/18 on stock 18s?

Do you think there would be any harm running 265/35/18 (rear) & 235/35/18 (front) on stock 18s?

Other then the size will be slightly off (speedo will be off)... has any one done this or consider it?

Stagger will be good but:
1. you will be going to a smaller overall diameter both front and back so your speedo will be off slightly
2. 265 on an 8.5" wheel is out of spec for most (if not all) tire manufacturers. Most will recommend a minimum of a 9" wheel and optimally, a 9.5" wheel for 265's.
