I live in Wisconsin, alot of snow and mud. I currently have BFG KO's 265/75 R16 on my existing vehicle. Would these fit/look good on a dakota?

Will there be any clearance issues in the front while turning?

Thanks for all of the replys
The tires will work, but you just might have to trim off a little on the fronts. I currently have 265/70-16s and they are great.

Btw, although it was rare, there was a 5.9 QC 4x4 Automatic dakota availible. if a manual isn't a big deal but you still want a ton of power and aftermarket abilities, you might want to look at one of those.
