I really like these tires .. and I'm running stock.. no lift....YET...lol. I'm little confused about the tire size ... some say rub.. some say no rub on stock with the 245... ..can I put these on with out having an issue of rubbing ... or best stick with the 235... ....
other question .. 235 /75....are they wider then 70.s....do I need to change rims...

ok i cant asnwer fo rthe rubbing issue, but what knowledge i can give is that the 235/75R16 the 235 stands for the width of the tread in milimeters, the 75 stand for the aspect ratio which when mathmatically done makes up the height of the tire, and of course R means rim, and 16 is rim width, hope that helped in anyway

Actually rub and not rub on the same size is common
the part that rubs is the Tread - the 235/245 number is the section width
that's the wide part of the tire - but it's not the tread
depending on the tread design the width can vary 1/2" or more for the same section width.

Most folks can fit a 235/75/16 or a 245/70/16 unlifted.

do not try a 245/75/16 - you won't be able to turn the wheel.

if you're concerned - check with the tire shop's return policy and see if you can 'test' drive something.
