Your rpm will not change relative to your speedo reading unless you get your tune updated for the change in tire size. You will be going faster than indicated by your speedometer if you go with larger tires. If you get your PCM programmed for the larger tires your rpm at a given speed will drop and visa-versa for smaller diameter tires.
