Vehicle tire size?

Gmc Sierra. Stock tires were 245/65/17. I've put 265/65/17 on it. Found a great deal on some 235/65/17 tires. Will these fit? Ride difference?

Yeah I know but 10 mm difference in width. Everything else same. Didn't know if there was a tire too skinny.

It will be shorter as well since the aspect ratio is the same. They will be 9.25" wide and 29" tall on a 17" wheel. They won't be but 3/8" narrower than stock and 1/2" shorter. Honestly you won't really notice a difference from stock but i have always been one to stuff the largest tire i can without rubbing on a truck.

For 265 down to 235, would they not be 30mm narrower? That's a little over an inch

he's talking about "stock" size to 235... which is .46" diameter less and about .42" width less.

Thanks guys. I wasn't even considering diameter as well.

First number = width in milimeters
second number the percentage of the width in height.
(245/65 would be 159.25mm high)
third number = wheel diameter in inches
So a 265/65/17 has a wheel that is 10.34 inches wide, 6.7 inches tall and on 17 inch rims.
(so roughly 30.44" total size of rim and tire x 10.34 wide)
Once you know this, figuring out tires is easy from now on.
(also inch = mm x 0.039)
