Lightbulb Gearing for new larger tires

Happy Friday Fellow ROVERS!!!

quick simple question about gearing

Recently changed my tires from a 235/70/16 to 235/75/16

does any changes need to be made for this 5% increase in tire size to the gearing, timing, sensors?

If so, How and what?

I havent experienced any problems since the tire change.
Im sure there is slight difference in the speedo reading and shift points now.

Thanks in advance,
Brian

What Ian said. Most guys jump to 32" tires without changing gearing. You'll be fine.

I went to a 285/75 on stock gears...4.11s would be ideal but are not a must. Speedo is off but its almost a 4" taller tire. You wont even notice the difference on the 235/75
