Your size isn't as bad, its fine in the front, but too small in the back which will increase your wheel gap like the other guy and throw off your speedometer reading by 3.6%. Your tire is essentially an inch too short now, which wasn't a very good idea, because it doesn't maintain the stock stagger, and provides less protection in the rear. Should have gone with the stock sizes, or at least a 245/40/19 in the rear

So throwing off the speedometer reading by 3.6% means if your speedometer is reading 100mph and you are actually doing 96.7mph??And if the speedometer is at 200mph and you are actually running 192mph?

A 265 size tire will not "legitimately" fit onto a 8.5" rim unless it is like a 45 or 50 series tire.

This is the reason I went with aftermarket rims--a 245 was about the only way to go with the OEM rims.
