Sort of. Not all of them. The 235 is 31.8" tall tire and is 9.25" wide. The 265 is a 31.6" tall tire and is 10.4" wide.

Sample tire 235/80/17

To figure metric sizes, take 235 x by 2 = 470. then multiply by the sidewall height which is 80 so 470 x .80 = 376. Then divide by 25.4 (mm's in an inch) = 14.08. Then add the rim size which is 17 and you get 31.08. Width is 235 divided by (mm's in an inch) 25.4 and you get 9.25. For these two tires, the 235/80/17's are .2 inches taller.


235/80/17 = 31.8/9.25/17 or 32x9x17
265/70/17 = 31.6/10.4/17 or 31x10.5x17or 32x10.5x17

So the spare will still fit under the truck? Did you replace the spare with a 265?. Those 265 sure look nice
