That makes your tires a WHOPPING 2" larger in diameter with 49 fewer revs per mile, you have MASSIVE speedo error (at 55 speedo indicated your actual is around 62 mph). The increased tire diameter also changes the effective gear ratio, causing a massive decrease in acceleration, it also drops the engine RPM down below the peak hp range, killing anything resembling a high speed runs. A 4 cyl Camry should be able to show this X its rear bumper in both situations.

Still waiting on reply to tire rub question.

Don't forget massive unsprung mass on the suspension, worse braking, worse handling and greater wear on suspension components.

small rub at full lock, only noticeable with front windows open.

So if I understand it, the tires rub when at full lock, but if the stereo is loud enough the driver doesn't notice, implying that it is therefore acceptable? That's just embarrassing.

...Reminds me of my '80s modding days on a '79 6.6 TA, steamrollers all around that rubbed in front and rears that fit only after I removed the rear seat outer seatbelt anchors and pounded the inner wheelwell bulges flat where the anchors where. It stuck like glue but embarassed me in parking lots.
