Default speedometer qusetion

I just put new wheels and tires on my car and am wondering if it will effect my speedometer?? I went from 255/50/16's all the way around to 275/40/17's's on the front and 315/35/17's in the rear.
Thanks for the help :)

As long as the overall diameter hasn't changed, you will be fine.
