Work on my truck? Found some rims that has tired already on them but mine runs. 265s. If them work for awhile, think 265s will fit on the rims later on ?

245/70/17 is wider and shorter than a 265/75/17, yes they will work as long as the offset is rite where they wont rub.
Both are. 70r 17s
Should be fine, 245 is just not as tall. Rims need a little offset so they wont rub in the front.
265 will make 654 rotations per mile and 245 will make 681.
The off set as Rees calls it....the back spaceing needs to be to factory specs to have your front end geometry right to keep from prematurely wearing out front end components.
They will work,your truck will just look like a sissy truck.
that is what it is :Rofl
:Rofl:Rofl:Rofl
Been wearing the out the way it is lol. Finally got a good redneck to look at it. They have the springs up front jacked up somehow.
Ted, no more hugs from blue eyes for you buddie lol
Hmmm deja vuQuote:

Don, if the 265 is standard size for your truck the 245 will through off your speedo which in turn confuses your computer which will change the shift points on tranny which could hurt drivability especially when towing. If you do change tires you need someone with a computer hook to computer and change revs per mile like Ress quoted.
I have a problem. SOMEONE is wrong. I'm finding that the 245 is the WIDTH of the tire, not the height
Well your info is wrong, 70 is width of tire, 17 is rim fitment size and 245/265 is diameter or height of tire. Trust me 265 is taller than 245.
Cray is right
trust a old man
245 is the width 70 is the height of the sidewalls
A 245 is not as tall as a 265.....I am looking at two new ones standing side by side.
You might want to tell Goodyear about it then. Here's a link telling how to read the numbers How to Read Tire Sizes | Goodyear Auto Service Center 245 is the WIDTH in MM
265 is width 70 is percent of sidewalls to width so yes a 265 is taller than a 245 because of percentage. A 245 70 is over a inch taller than a 245 60
With this new information. Will the 245s work on my truck, then I can change them out to 265s in a few months without hurting my truck?
Still make your speed off
I think your shift points are determined by rpms not speedQuote:

Use the speedo on your navigation devise and JUST DO IT!!!! :) They Will work.Quote:

shouldn't rub. I have those monster rims on there now and they don;t rub
I don't understand why folks lift trucks and add big tires without professional help. Yes, some things work for a while but it eventually causes trouble elsewhere. This usually cost mucho de'nero to fix. I've always been satisfied with the factory set ups and if I needed to get somewhere they couldn't take me, I would find a four wheeler or tractor.
That's what I'm trying to get back to. stock. I've been halfway looking for. 7-8 months but should have been looking harder
