1994 jeep wrangler just got a 1 3/4 inch boomerang lift. The old tires were p234 75r15
I want to go with a little bit bigger with some all-terrain rugged looking tires. I am finding p245/75r16
will these tires fit my 15" rim?
will they look good (not too small and not to big/tall so that lil red looks off balance and out of sorts?
what would you suggest I get?

sure you can, it just won't hold air and if it does it won't be for long!
For those who wonder, the numbers break down like this 245/75/16 equals 245 millimeters wide/75 percent aspect ratio (75% of 245 for the height)/16 inch wheel
So if they were both 15 inch wheels the 245/75/15 would be 7.5 millimeters taller (radius so 15 mm diameter) than a 234/75/15 (I suspect it's actually 235) and 10 mm wider.
