Tried it out and everything worked out. No rubbing issues due to the bigger sidewall.

Just beware that your speedo and mileage will be off, especially the speedo at higher speeds since you changed the rolling diameter.

I assumed that my speedo would speed up (be faster than it shows due to the bigger diameter) but it's about the same, if not slower. I programmed my car last year to be able to see the actual velocity of the car as on of the options in the instrument cluster and now it's about 74 mph when I'm driving 75 mph.
