More to it than just the speedo being out, gearing will suffer as well.

same could be said for running 16's.. or looking at running 8.5's on the front affecting handling  etc etc..

Not really, 16"s or even 17"s with the correct size tyres will not affect speedo or gearing.

The effect on the speedo is nowt, speedos arent 100% accurate anyhow since they have to take wear and tear and tyre wear into account.

gearing differences will just mean acceleration will be a touch better.
