Tire Size Calculator - tire & wheel plus sizing
this is my favorite site. you put in the tire size you have, the ones you want. it will show you how far off your speedo will be and the US conversion for it

as long as your wheels are 16's then ya. the only thing is.... when the tires are that wide, your sidewall will be facing inward, way unstable. you really want a 16x8-16x10 wheel for that. i dont know what the factory width is, i bought my truck with aftermarket wheels already.

no, the third number is your rim size. height and width is fine, but you can only fit a 16 tire on a 16 wheel.

I run 285/75-16 tires on stock rims on my 86 IDI.

There were a couple rim widths, mine are 7.5" wide.

285/75-16 figures a bit over 33" tall.
The stock 235/85-16 tires figure out at about 31" tall.

Exact height will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and tread design to tread design.

Dave, do you use those same tires for plowing in winter, or do you swap to something narrower?
