195/60/15s or 195/65/15s on a standard '84?

I ordered tires from costco and I thier website pointed me in the direction of 195/65/R15 size. So I ordered some. Then, after I ordered them (of course) I looked at my old tires and found that they were 195/60/R15s. Damn. I know that number is the ratio of the sidewall hieght to the tread width, so I'm just getting marginally higher profile tires. In theory they'll fit my wheels just fine.
My question is: will they rub against the body in the front or the back, perhaps during hard cornering or over a very bumbpy road? I'm more concerned about the front I think. My car is an '84 non-turbo sedan, if that matters.
The wheels on my car are the nice stamped SAAB steel wheels. Nothing fancy or aftermarket. They came with the car when it was new.
Thank you for your time,
-Dietrich Seney
