Ranger Tire Question

The stock tire [Wrangler RT-S] size on my truck is 245/75-16. It is getting time for new rubber, and I want a set of BFG All Terrain T/A ko's. I would like to go with a wider tire, and was wondering if a 265/75-16 would fit without any rubbing. Is there another size I should consider? Thanks for your help!

Ranger Tire Question

go to the tirerack.com
it is bfg site and u can see for yourself.... 245/75/R16 the 245 is height and 75 is width and R16 is rim size.... so u would want for a wider tire to get a 70 or 65 series tire... if u want taller tire u would want 265 or larger.... i think after 295 they go to inch numbers... but u get the idea....

actually the first number on a tire description is the width in millimeters and the second is the percentage of the width in height.
