Good day,
I have a 2011 Dakota crew cab with P245-70-R-16's. Will a 240 tire fit without too many issues?

 

I will move this to the 3rd generation Dakota sub-forum.

 

Welcome to the forum. The 240 is the tire width in mm. So, your asking if a narrower tire with the same aspect ratio (as in 240/70-16) will fit, the answer is yes, but for the life of me I can't find a 240/70-16 tire and don't know why you would want a smaller tire....

 

I'll second jkeaton...never heard of a 240 tire. Yes, it should fit but only assuming you're sizing it with the metric standard in mind (width[mm]/sidewall height[% of width]/rim)

 

will fit but I'm very confused..as are my peers above ^

 

I appologize to all of you for the confusion on my first post, I have a one year old set of snow tires I ran on my last truck (1999 Ranger XLT) that are P245-75-R-16. My 2011 Dakota currently has all season radials P245-70-R-16's.

I understand there is a 5% height difference and the spedometer and odometer will slightly be inaccurate.

The question I need answered is will these 75's fit my dakota without messing up any on board sensors/computers etc.? Secondly, is anyone aware if these generic (snow tire) steel rims will fit the Dakota's hub & 5 bolt pattern?

Thank you for your patience

 

What's the bolt pattern and size on the ranger rims? The dakota is 5.5 and 5 lugs

 

The Ranger bolt pattern is 5 x 4.5, so the wheels will not fit.

 

You can put those tires on the Dakota rims without messing up any sensors.
