Default Upgrading wheels on 03' Silverado LS Ext. Cab

Hello All,

I currently own a 2003 Chevy Silverado 1500 LS Ext. Cab which came with oem 235/75R16 tires (16" x 7" rims).

I got some rims from a 2008 Silverado which are 17" x 7.5" and have currently have 245/70R17 tires which fit just fine on the truck.

It's now time for me to replace the tires and I would like to know if putting 265/70R17 will cause them to rub when turning and if there are any other consequences (good and bad) I should consider.

I don't know if the will rub but your speedometer and odometer will need to be calibrated. They are probably off because of the change you previously made.
