Your originals are about 28.8" tall and the new ones will be about 30.5 so your speedo will read about 5.5% slow. eg: at a reading of 65 you will actually be going around 68.5
It will probably become more accurate. Can you borrow a gps to measure speed?

Did you really change from 15 to 16 inch rims? Yes: Speedometer/odometer 5.5% slow No: Speedometer/odometer 2% slow
A more important question would be 'What was the size of your stock tires?"
FWIW: Jeep speedometers are almost always miscalibrated. My unscientific test with a roadside radar unit revealed my WJ to be 3% fast with stock size tires.
