The tire wall will be larger on the new ones, so you may have problems with your speedometer accuracy, and you might encounter rubbing. The first numer is for the width, second is the percent of the width and accounts for the height, and the third is obviously the wheel size it's going on. Since this is a wider tire, and the same percente in height, than it will have an overall larger outside diameter. Also since it's wider, you may have problems putting it on your wheels, since those are still the same width. Even though rubber flexes, you don't want an unusual pressure on your tires.
