Default tire size question
I currently have 215/70 r15 for front tires and 215/75 r15 for back tires on stock rims (97 grand Laredo 4.0 4x4)


I would like to know if 255/70 r16 will fit on my stock rims and if they will fit on the jeep with out a lift or any type of spacers

any thoughts? I plan on trying to have these put on today, I am trying to save the time of going there to find out they wont fit only to be hassled about buying new ones

thanks

You cant put a tire meant for a 16 inch wheel on a 15 inch wheel.
