Default Tire Question

Ive got an 04 Dakota 4x4 that has 245/70-16's on it and was curious if anybody knew if you could put 245/75-16's on it without them rubbing or anything. Im not sure how much difference there is in the two sizes but any info would help. Thanks

You'll have no problems. General rule, you can always go +-5 on the index and width

It is only a half inch difference. You can also use a 265/70R16 tire without rubbing and have the same hight. This size tire is the factory oversize 16" wheel option on my 02 Dak. I had 265/75R16 and got a little rubbing in turns.
