Not sure, but I'm doing the same exact swap next week, so I'll let you know!

It's negligible at the most. No more than 1-2 mph. I've been running like this on my 93 for a couple of years now.

They both have the same tire diameter. So it will not throw off the speedo.

So here's my question:

What size tire would it take to move to an 18" rim and not throw off the speedo??

You should be fine with 285/35/18. Tire wear will make up any difference between the two.
