Default 265/75/16" tires ???

My 05 Dakota came with 265/70/16" tires. Will 265/75/16"tires work on the truck. Not sure if the taller tires will rub on the steering or cause any other troubles? Thnx Dave

Definitely need a leveling kit, on a 16x7, maybe...16x8, yes. It's been talked to death, read these or do a search:

I have 265/75s and i have a leveling kit with a good amount of rubbing. If the wheels are aftermarket youl prollyu rub alot. you may be able to get away with it if you have stock wheels.
