it'll affect the overall gearing of the car so will change the speedo reading from what he's used to.
But other then that not a real heap of difference

I used to run 265 70 16s and changed to 265 75 16s. Not really much different, except going uphill, the 70s had a bit more go. Also accelerating from a standstill. Since i have a 4 speed manual however, the vehicle revs less at speed. May eventually go to 285s
89 gq dx. bone stock --- for now.

you will be going a little slower than your speedo reads by probably 2 %.

they will be fine.

There's more then 5mm difference, it's closer to an inch difference in overall diameter. Effectively stepping from a 32" (265/75R16) tyre to a 31" (265/70R16).
