Default Tire question

Okay I know this might sound stupid but I dont really know much about tires. I have a stock 99 F150 2wd. Stock rims the tires on there now are
245/70/16 I seen a deal on some 245/75/16 will these fit? The deal is online and I didnt want to order if they wont fit. I would think they would and this might be a stupid question but rather be safe then sorry
Thanks

They will fit. They will be the same width as the ones you have now but they will be a little bigger around.

It will fit just fine. The new tire will be .4" taller overall and the same width. Just remember the Miata tire calc for tire size info, you could actually go a lot bigger.

The overall tire will be 1" taller. The sidewall will be .4" taller on the new tire. You had me confused for a minute
