Default 245/70/16 on stock suspension, can I?

I m currently running 235/70/16 and need tires bad. I dont drive alot and hate to kick out $600 for tires that will dry rot before I wear them out. (only drive like 5k miles a yr). I found some 245/70/16 that are used for a great price. I dont offroad, other than a logging road to hunt, so not concerned bout offroad manners. Will the rub the fenders or anything else under normal driving? I did a search but cant find anyone running this size tire.

Its a 97 Grand Cherokee limited with 4.0 .

I've got 245x70x16's on my '97 ZJ but it has the Up-Country suspension package. Doesn't come close to rubbing anything but the lower control arms on a full lock tight turn when parking or turning around. Then they rub slightly. Here's a pic.
