I never know what the internal temp of my ribs are since (unlike all other product that I smoke) I never use a thermometer on them. With ribs temp isn't anywhere near as important as just knowing when they are done.
Hints: The meat has pulled a bit back from the end of the rib and when you pick up the big end of the rack it will flex (and almost bounce) without breaking, if it breaks your ribs are overdone.
When you bite into the perfect rib it won't "fall off of the bone" (overdone) it will be very tender but still have structure enough to leave a perfect bite mark in the meat.
If your ribs aren't doing this then you are doing it wrong.
You're making me hungry!!!
This was my last rib cook:

I could go on about how faggy picman is but the rest of the commentary was about spritzing the ribs about every 30 minutes.
Damn that looks amazing!!
