205/55/16

PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND IF YOU'RE GONNA SAY GO WITH 205/50/16 OR ANY OTHER SIZES....I WANNA KNOW ABOUT MY SPECIFIED SIZE ONLY

hey, i have an option to get a complete set of 205/55/16 tires for free, and get basically free tires for life.

i know they're 5% bigger than stock and every website states that's a bad thing to be more that 3% bigger than stock. like it's some kinda bad mojo.

is it really that big of a deal? when my brakes are ready to be changed, i'm going with hawk HPs up front and the micro-image discs in the rear. i think that will be enough to take on the 2% difference in the maximum abilities of the stock brakes. my speedo will be off 5%, i know.

i'm mainly worried about HP/TQ and if the stock engine setup is capable of handling a 5% extra load at all times. and if the brakes are capable of handling the extra 5% diameter of the tires. PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND IF YOU'RE GONNA SAY GO WITH 205/50/16 OR ANY OTHER SIZES....I WANNA KNOW ABOUT MY SPECIFIED SIZE ONLY
