It will fit with a small possibility of a slight rubbing at full lock but your speedometer will be off 1.4%, which means your speedometer will read around 59 at 60 MPH. Not a huge difference, but you should be conscious of it. It also means your odometer and mileage if you track it will be of a little bit too.

hey thanks for the input ,but what do you think about me running the 245 in the back and the 235 on the front?
Lets keep this in here bud.00Beast wrote:That would be a poor decision. You'd want your wider tires up front where your drive tires are, and lose all options of rotating tires. Go the same size all around, whatever you do.
