Will any LT tires work?

I'm shopping for tires on Craigslist and someone has an LT245/75/R16 tire for sale. Will it work on my rims if my tires right now are 265/75/r16s?

They will work on 16x6.5 and 16x7, 16x8's would be a stretch for me personally, but they will still mount up just fine.


What truck are they for?
A 245/75R16 is going to be shorter and narrower than a 265/75R16.

They should fit just fine and will also give you a little low end torque back, but the trade off is higher RPM's at HWY speeds. (all due to a shorter tire)
