265 x 70 is 185.5 mm ( aspect ratio)
265 x 75 is 198.75. Mm.
Difference is 13.25 mm
25.4 mm per inch. Slightly more than a 1/2 inch. But 265-70-16s fit with no lift no trimming? Such a small difference?
I want dick capeks fun country 11s. Only available in 265-75.
Any input would be appreciated.

On my 1999 Dakota I have been running 325/60 15 BFG's for years with absolutely no lift and not even a torsion bar crank. On my 2008 I required two and a half inches in the front and 2 inches in the rear to be able to fit 285 70 17's and even at that I had to trim the factory mudguard pieces.

Hey guys! I was wondering what other modifications needed to be done to fit the 285/75/16's on the 3rd generation Dakota? I have the 3" P.A. body lift, daystar leveling kit and put the 285/75/16 duratracs and I'm getting rubbing on the frame which I didn't expect as this thread never mentioned anything about frame rub. If you guys went with wheel adapters, which size did you use? If you used new rims which offset/ backspacing did you use?

Hello. Im new to the forum. I have an 05 quad cab 4x4 dakota. And i was looking to put the rough country 2.5" full leveling kit (spacer for front and blocks for rear) on the truck with 285/75r16 cooper at3s on the stock rims. Would that rub or need any trimming? I have the stock 265/70/r16s now. Thank you

265-75-16 capek fun country
The 265-75s did fit. I sent the info from the sticky to performance off road in northern KY. Roy is one of the premier shops in the country. (Ever have questions concerning anything off road he's the man. Will talk too). We measured. I have a half inch clearance all around. Thanks to all those, especially the original poster, for all the help.

questions with lift
hello I am new to the forum.. and I had a question about lifting my 2008 Dakota 4X4 SLT 4.7 V8.. I am planning on doing a full suspension lift from supreme suspensions doing 3" front and rear. I am planning using 265/70or 75/16s Cooper discoverers ATMs. my question is do I need to get longer shocks... if so which ones are recomened? and where can I get them?

3" is too much on the front end for a Dakota 4x4.
