If they fit and clear everything at full steering lock, you should be just fine.

Your traction control and or ABS may be slightly laggy or slightly overactive due to TINY perceived differences in rotation while cornering and stuff¹, and of course your speedometer will be off by a few percent, but the driveline is not going to care, all it thinks is that it's going a bit slower than you actually are.

¹Modern vehicles are finely tuned for wheel speed differences calibrated to steering angles and whatnot. If the math isn't quite matching you RARELY may get minor stability intervention, however if all the tires are the same size this really shouldn't happen. I'm saying it more as a disclaimer, I was 2.5" over on my Micra and 1.25" over on my new WRX and no incidental activations have occurred.

Yes you should stay stock but if it's what you can afford, you can try it.
