My stock tires are 235 85 R16. I desperately need some new rubber and can get a set of 265 70 R16's. Will they fit the rims width wise? Upsides, downsides?

I ran the calculator, just don't know about the width. The tire recommended specs overlap at 7" rim width, but I don't know exactly how wide my stock rims are.

The new tires are only 30 cm wider than the old ones. Your rims will be fine.
