Wheel/Tire size help needed ASAP!
Ok here are my questions....I had 275/40/17s on my stock WS6 Rims....now I bought 18" American Racing Rebels....I bought 275/35/18s all the way around for the rims....
Now what Im wondering is do I need an allignment after I put these on? anything? speedo recalibration? anything at all??

no, that is the correct size tire for an 18" wheel that will be as close to the circumference of the stock sized tire. It will only be ~0.3% off, so when your speedo reads 60mph you will actually be going 59.8mph, in theory anyway.
no need for an alignment after a rim/tire swap. You are good to go, you don't need to do anything more but to enjoy your new rims/tires
