Tires: 98 K1500 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Looking to buy tires for my 98 K1500 soon. I have been looking around a little and found a few im interested in. My question is: It has 265/75-16's If i buy 245/75-16's will that affect my speedometer reading? Im asking this because im going to 3/4 ton 6 lug steel wheels and they are 16x6 1/2. Seems like all the 265 tires want a min 7" width rim. Any of the 245's you can have a 6 1/2 width. And 245's are cheaper. Can you put a 265 tire on a 6 1/2 wide rim?

Thanks
Tom
