It really depends on the offset of the wheels. I can't say for sure, but my 97 has 245s with no rubbing.

I don't understand, how could the HUD and dash show 2 different values? They get the same signal from one sensor.

Sounds more like the calibration of the speedometer is off; as in, the actual position of the needle. If its always 2mph off no matter how fast you're going, then the needle is just 2mph off.
