Thanks
Yes, you'll be fine. As long as you have all four matching tires. Just because there is a recommended size does not mean it's written in stone. Many here have played around with the size of tires they're running, mainly for performance, but also for looks, fitment, and pricing. I doubt you'll see any difference at all in the way your car drives, especially if it's a daily driver and you don't push the limits on a regular basis.
