Change tire size
I bought a set of 16" wheels for my 1996 Montero LS so I can have a separate set of off road tires. The original street tires are on 15" rims.
I found a dirt cheap set of used 265/75R16 Runway Enduro tires. Will they fit? The guy says they are 31 inch tires and he thinks they might be too big for a Montero. I haven't found any internet sites that tell me how to calculate the difference. (And I'm a female so I didn't learn these important things from my dad).
If I have to roll the fenders, I'm fine with that. This vehicle is just for fun.

Search for "tire size calculator". Tons of sites out there.
Here's one: https://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Tire-Size-Calculator
According to this calculator, a 265/75-16 tire is 10.43" wide and 31.65" diameter. This site also lists the stock tire on a 1996 Montero LS as a 31x10.5x15. So there really is no difference.
