Can you run 255/70/16 tires on a stock 1999 4x4?

[mountainhorse]

I've noticed that the newer trucks come stock with 255/70/16's;

I have a 1999 Ranger XLT 4x4 extra cab with the 4.0 and offroad/towing package.

Did Ford change anything about the wheel wells or fenders that would cause the 255/70/16's to rub on my 1999 that was originally equipped with 245/75/16's... like in lock to lock or full travel. Mounted to the Original 1999 Factory Aluminum Ranger Wheels that came with the truck?

Thank you in advance!!

Thank you Honduras!

Any confirmation from others?

The Ranger is largely the same and the new tire size is within about 10mm each direction. I wouldn't think there would be a problem.

245/75-16's and 255/70-16's are almost the exact same height... The 255's are just 10mm wider...
