I am looking for some new tires for my explorer after the recall. Can I fit a 265/75R16 on my 1998 Eddie Bauer that originally came with 255/70R16. Will the larger spare fit under my car? What if I add a receiver hitch later on? Thanks

Sorry...can't help you with that one. You might actually be better off discussing those options with a tire retailer.
