A guy on here has a set of wheels for sale with those tires on it.

That tire is a whole inch taller in diameter than OEM.
So you will lose acceleration due to higher gearing from the tires.
And your actual speed will be 4.3% higher than what is indicated.

Depending on the weight of the wheel/tire combo you may lose additional acceleration from the extra weight. Always keep this in mind when running a plus-size set.
