It sounds like that is the best route to go. If understand everything I've read correctly this will result in the speedometer, navigation etc. to be 100% accurate. I just hope it's as "simple" as everyone says because I haven't messed with Forscan before.

Larger tires also change the balance in your bank account.

Gearing, which in turn adds time to your 0-60. Strain added to your suspension components and depending on how large, places a severe mechanical disadvantage to your brakes. In some instances, depending on tire width you also can reduce your ability to stop compared to stock.
