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???

4% is enough to feel a difference I think

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