Tube troubles.

The local bike shop sold me a 700 X 28-32C tube, saying it would fit. The original tube is a 700 X 23-25C. the rim is 700 X 25.

I know there is a difference in sizes between these two, I am just wondering if this size difference is going to be deterimental or cause any hazards while riding. Any help or tips would be appreciated.

It will fit but I think it's a bad idea to run an oversize tube, more chances of a wrinkle or pinch.
