Default Can I use 215/70/15 on 96 Grand Caravan

Hi, can I use 215/70/15 instead of 215/65/15 on rear of my 96 Grand Caravan SE 3.3L. I know speedo will be off maybe 3mph or so at 70, but will it fit, and will it cause any other problems. I cant' afford new tires but found 2 used like new tires cheap but they are 215/70/15's Thanks for any help in advance, T.
P.S. Sorry, I have the 2156/65/15's on front, I want to use 215/70/15's on rear

Less than a 1/2" difference in diameter. Should be fine. As long as you're not AWD.

Hi, no AWD, and thank you very much. Almost forgot how great this site is, haven't been on in a while. I just started to do maintenance and repairs on the van, and I will be posting more questions. This site makes anything you have to do a whole lot easier and faster. Regards Top.

NO worries. There are plenty of tire size calculators out there on the interweeb....that's what I did. Plug in the different sizes and see the difference. That being said, it also depends on your wheel backspacing and offset as to if you will encounter issues. I'm assuming you have stock wheels so there should be no issue, but it's not 100% for sure until you try them.
