The delta in tire diameters for the sizes you have is 0.7 inches with the rears being the larger diameter so you should not have AH/TC issues.

Your new tires are 1.16 inches smaller in diameter and you will most likely throw codes! What size are you running on the front? The consensus is the rear tires must be .5 or more inches larger than the front tires. You can use a tire calculator such as this one provided by Discount Tire. http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/infoTireMath.dos
