Its possible but according to my guide it will rub. To run this size correctly you really need at least a 7.5" wide wheel, ideally an 8. Your stock wheels are only 7" wide. Also this tire is about 2.3" taller and 1.6" wider than the stock 245/75R16. I'd recommend a 265/75R16.

Here's a tire size calculator to estimate the size differences Tire size Calculator.

Thank you for the additional information.

The 285/75-16's will still rub so you will have to make some fender modifications but this size is approved for your 8" wide wheels If you want to avoid making modifications, run size 265/75-16.
