Default Tire Sizes

So I have a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 with 20" rims.

Currently i have 275/60r20 on the stock rims.

I want a specific tire (Wrangler DuraTracs) but they only come in 275/65r20.

I was going to go with them even though they are a little bit different but I was told i might run into problems later down the road such as sensors with my truck or even transmission problems do to a slightly different ride height. I feel that this isn't a big deal and I should go ahead with it. Any suggestions or info on this would be great!

You will be fine. Your speedometer reading will be off a little.

And barely enough to notice.

*EDIT* Speedometer and odometer variance will be 3.3%. The 65s are 34.1" diameter vs. 33" for the 60s.
