help with tire size question

this is in regard to going up a size in rims/tires. if the overall diameter is larger than stock, will my speedometer and odometer read higher than actual or lower than actual?
thanks

Yup. The normal recommended size upgrades are pretty close to the OEM sizes so you can maintain the stagger and mileage/speed readings.

ok thanks. thats kinda what i thought. btw this is for an f-150 truck going from stock 255/70/17 to a 275/65/18. this wont upset anything else will it, such as ABS or 4wd or whatever???
