Another tire question

So I've been searching the forums and it seems plenty of folks are running wider than stock tires up front on factory 17s. I was wondering if any one had considered trying to correct the factory "built in" speedo error with slightly larger tires.

My calculations show that 225/55/17 and 265/45/17 (255/45/17 would be close as well) would give me a much more accurate speedo (its conservative by about 4 mph on the highway). Has anyone tried this? Will it have affect ABS function?
