Quick tire size question

2001 super cab 4x4
it has 245-75-16 on it now. which look a little small on it.

my son had a new set of yokohoma's (spelling?) on his chevy when he bought a Dakota.
so he said he would give me a good deal on them.

but they are 265-75-16.
will they clear the stock mud flaps in front when turning??

wanting to get them tomorrow and put them on.

thanks in advance.

I have LT 265/70/17's on my 2002 supercrew fx4 with lots of room to spare
Maybe the fx4 sits a little higher?, I think you should have room for them

That will be an increase of less than an inch in height. Honestly you should not have a problem. Tires are expensive so getting s great deal on a similar size will be a good thing. Good luck!
