TIRES, great deal, will they fit my oem rims? (265/65/17)

[longhornsqx4]

Found a set of used summer tires for only $100, they are Goodyear Wrangler SR-A 265 65 17's

The tires that are on my car now are 245's 65 17

I have the 3 spoke wheel and am unsure if they will fit or not

I want to grab these as they are an absolute steal!!

ohhh QX4 rims sorry i was thinking of the 3 spoke pathfinder rims ya those tires u mentioned will fit. the only difference is the tread pattern will be a little bit wider (goin from 245 to 265) but all other dimensions will remain the same.

You are half right. Yes, the tread will be wider, but keeping the same aspect ratio (65), these tires will be a bit taller too. The 265s will be about 3/4" taller overall

265 x 65% = sidewall height...but this can be misleading because every tire is made different and sometimes, the tread will extend on to the side of the tire. Sidewall starts where the tread stops.
