.8" in circumfrence I wouldn't worry about it much. Speedo might be slightly off.

.8" in diameter will knock the speedo off a few mph.

i think the .8 inch circ is a 1% speedo error, but the gearing and other junk wont go screwy will it.....just being a little paranoid

guys, you are very much underestimating this...a .8" difference will cause at least a 5% error on the speedo and odometer...baaad idea, try to stay as CLOSE to stock as you possibly can, otherwise you are going to be racking up mileage that you never really drove because of the extra tire rotations...if you dont mind losing a few thousand miles on your warranty, go for it, but you should never alter the overall size anymore than is nessesary.

Your speedometer would be off by less than 1 MPH while driving 60 MPH. No biggie.....
