They look fine and don't rub, but I am thinking they might be a bit too big. One negative is my gas mileage went down by 3 to 4 mpg
Your odometer will read about 3% less or about 1 mpg if you haven't adjusted.

I change wheel sizes to smaller diameter like 26inch to 25 inch all the time to get more power, but you being bigger means more wheel weight.

I adjust miles driven with a scanguage and ignore the cars speedo which is already wrong.
