Default Stock X wheel and tire to Rubi?

I have the stock 16" steels on my X and I am picking up a set of Rubi's with 255/75/17s and I am wondering will I need to reprogram for it? I already have the 4.10s because of the tow package but I don't know how big a difference the tire change will make. Any insight?

you'll be good. I believe both tires measure out to be around 32in.
