Default 265/75r15 vs 30/9.5r15

I have a 92 f150 with 265/75r15 toyo tires that need to be replaced due to sidewall cracks and bought used. My question is I can get ko2's in 30" cheap but in 265 itsa little expensive. Will I see a big difference in ride height and size?

toss those 2 sets of numbers into the online tire calculator and it will tell you the exact height and width difference. I think you will be golden.

I did that equals out to .65" shorter and 1" thinner. is that a noticeable difference in size? I had 32" Dunlop's on it. I liked the look but they would suck down gas pretty bad. Would like to get another set of them but would require me to put a leveling on the front, backs already lifted by helper springs

.65 is .33 on each top and bottom so no! and 1" width may be a little noticeable but, you gain RPM and MPG back.
