Here's a tiresize calculator I like to use:
4Lo.com :: Metric Tire Size to Diameter in Inches Calculator
your old tires are 31.7" tall and 9.3" wide, while your "new" ones are 12" wide and 32.7 tall.
You should have no problems running them, as far as rubbing goes. Your speedo will barely be affected....might read 3% slow....which isnt anything to worry about.
I run 305/70/16 on my truck, 97 F350 4x4 Crew, and have no issues at all.

Other than that they should fit fine.

You may have to shim the bumper out a little but They will be fine. If they rub at all it will be on the spring pack (4wd) or Radius arm (2wd) but only at full lock and then they still may not rub at all.
