Quick question on tires. My truck had the original stock tires (265/60/17) and somebody gave me a set of Ford rims with 255/70/18. These tires are noticeably bigger when i put them next to the stock tires on my truck, will they fit if I swapped them? Thanks-

They will fit, but take your gps out with you the first time and check your speedo, it may throw it out if they are not the same diameter but that should be the only issue, and of coarse if the speedo is out so will the odo.

Great. The tires on the rims are shot. Now I have to try to find a decent used set or if I'm lucky a set of new off's. I've seen new off's for $500 or less, but not in south Florida. Anybody know any places in south Florida (Ft Lauderdale area) that sell new off's? Do the dealerships sell them? I know a lot buy trucks and replace the stock tires for larger as soon as they buy. Thanks-
