235/85r16 on 03 3500 Express steer axle?

All the trucks and trailers at the farm use the common size 16.
Anyone had success with 235/85r16 on steer axle? They're a billimeter taller than 245/75r16 on there now. Obv rear isn't an issue.

got to a tire circumference calculator and see the difference; probably isn't that much.

True, it's not that much. But it is something.
Any Idea if they came OEM on some Express variation???

Will they fit? Yes. There are trucks using the same fenders with larger tires than the 3500.
