Default Tire size problem...

Does anyone know if my 4 wheel drive will have a problem if I have P235 75 R15's on the front and P267 67 R15's on the back? I ask because the tires I want to get, the smallest size they make is P267 67 R15 and I need to also know if they will even fit the rim?

Yes the 4wd will have a problem with it, well when 4wd is engaged. For all 4wd all 4 must be the same size. You can use a tire size calculator to see how far apart they are.

Oh yeah I guess I should have mentioned that earlier. I used the "DML tire and wheel calculator" on dakota-truck.net and the differences are: the tire I want to purchase is 1.26 inches wider, .10inch higher sidewall, .21 inch higher then stock tire size, and .65 inches larger circumference then stock size. So all of those differences will causes me a lot of problems when I try and use 4 wheel drive? I was hoping it would be small enough of a difference that it wouldn't effect it.
