My tires

From : automation001

Q: hey all i have a couple questions. ok first of all i own a 97 dakota sport. the inside of my door says my tire size is p255/65 r15 when i went to purchase new tires everywhere ive gone has said my tire/rim size doesnt match with the standard size in their computer for a 97 dakota and they would have to special order them extra money. so i guess my question is becuz i bought the truck used is it possible that the owner before me has changed something or did i just get the worlds smallest dakota this truck sits lower than every other dakota ive been beside. also would p235/75 r15 fit on my truck theyve mentioned something about the wheel well size and tires might not fit...anyone know this is all way over my head im just a girl who wants some new freakin tires...not asking alot! thanx in advance -sandy- .
