Bought new Michelins Cross Terrains for the Cruiser (stock size 275/70 R16) and I am considering putting them on my 2003 Suburban (I know, it's GM ) with a stock size of 265/70 R16, w/7" rim.
Will a .56" difference in diameter have any ill effect on anything other than speed (1.7MPH faster on speedo at 65MPH)?
275's fit a 7" rim?
Any concerns with ABS or computer function?
I am between BFG's ATs and Revo's for the cruiser (285/75 R16).
No problems or mods needed at all with 285/75 R16's? Right? Max tire size (diameter) without mods? Right? (Yes, I did a search but looking for confirmation incase I missed something)
Should I buy 5 or just 4 tires and use an old tire for a spare? Any reason to go with a matched spare if I don't intend to include it in tire rotation (the rim for the spare is ugly and oxidized)?

Guess I am being a bit obsessive about this but you know....par for the chorus.
