I checked the speed with my gps and it’s within 1 mph of what the speedometer reads. Are these tires too wide? No problems with any kind of rubbing on the frame or fenders.
Speedo is fine, no rubbing and you're asking if the tires are too wide? Apparently they are not too wide. Only Issue I see with your combination is the rear should have been 265/35/18 to give the tires a almost equal rotational speed.
