Bigger tires = problems?

Bigger tires = problems?
Hey everyone. New here and am looking for advice.
Some quick background: I have a 2000 Silverado 1500 4x4 with the extra cab and an 8 foot box. I bought it used 2 years ago and am in need of new tires. It came with 245 75 R16s on it. I would like to move up to 265s. What kind, if any, problems will I run into? I figure my gas mileage will go down a bit and the speedometer might be off but is that all I have to worry about?

I got a 2002 silverado 1500 4x4 ext. cab also. My old tires were 235/75 and i upgraded to the BFGoodrich all terrain k/o's and they are 275/75 and work very good. I have had no speedometer problems, or gas mileage problems. I think you will be ok.

mmm... I remember my '94 had 265's on it when I got it in 2000. I went to Sears to get new ones. When I told the saleslady what I had on them, she didn't believe me. Had to take her out to see them for herself (somehow she didn't think I could read the tires). Put new ones on and she ran like a dream. I never had any problems with running 265s on it.
BTW, don't get tires from Sears
