Interesting! I would assume they would rub on both vans. That’s a big tire.

Tall and narrow work best for rain and snow
Would you happen to have a pic of your van with these?

there is no one answer here. it just doesnt exist. too many factors to take into consideration. vehicle age, spring sag, bushing sag, wheel offset, and the fact that there is no industry standard on tire sizing will keep you from finding that one answer you are looking for. your best bet is to find a ma and pa tire store and tell them what your trying to do. try a few sizes on and see if they rub is going to be the only way your going to get the biggest tire without rubbing that you can get.

Yeah I’m realizing that, way to many factors and such small differences really in the sizes that supposedly fit without rubbing. I’m leaning towards the 245/75/R16 or a 265/70/R16. I feel confident the 245 will fit as the van can come stock with that size, and the 265/70 is just slightly wider.
