It is very likely the dualled tires will be too close together. Vehicle manufacturers are noted for having wheels that fit the original tire size, and not anything larger (as far as dualled spacing goes).

If you make the change your tires will be 3/4 of an inch closer together. How much clearance do you presently have?
