I made this exact change a year and a half ago. No rubbing or other problems other than speedometer error of 1.4%. The shorter sidewall and wider tread provide slight improvements in handling and degradation in ride is not noticeable. I went with Goodrich Touring T/A v-rated tires bought at a wholesale club for $325 or so mounted and balanced. Although I will never need the "v" speed rating, for $5 a tire, the improvement in the quality of the tire is apparent and is well worth the cost. Good luck.
