LT 245/75R/16 or P 255/70R/16

I had a 99 Ranger 4x4, auto, 4.0 that I had LT245/75R/16 on that got rear ended and totaled and I replaced it with a 2007 Ranger with same options except it has P255/70R/16 tires on it which are getting ready for replacement. My question is can I drop a size from the P255/70R/16 to LT245/75R/16 as like the 10 ply tires as I do a lot of driving off road and so far I haven't found and tires in the 255 size that are 10 ply that have a mud and snow tread. I know it might make a difference in my MPH & speed but is there any other thing that the size might affect? Thanks

Yes, that would be fine, its only a 1/2" diameter difference so only 1/4 inch visual and clearance
