Default Wheels and Tires swap - '03 on '96?

I currently have stock 14" rims with 225x70R14 tires. I've found some rims and tires that came off of a 2003 Ranger - 235x75R15. Does anyone know if they will work without modifications, or what they will need to work on my '96 2WD reg. cab? Thanks

They will bolt on but the tires will be pretty stuffed

They won't be stuffed, if it's anything like mine. Had 205/75R14's stock, and a mile of fender gap. The 235/75R15s will close the fender gap some, but should have no clearance issues. The new tires will be about 2" taller than what you have now (28.9" vs 26.4"), which will throw the speedo off by about 6mph at 60. So cruising at 60 on the speedo, you will actually be doing ~66.
