Changing size shouldnt affect the diff. unless you mixed sizes (illegally) on one axle. The only thing to watch is that if yours is a 4wd model you must have same size/rolling circumference on all four wheels. The other issue might be (cos some have said so) that you need different profile wheel nuts so maybe google and see what people generally are advising about that.

Just wondering if you have done this Tank and what you did with the old wheels?
