The gift tires you received are SMALLER in overall diameter than stock (65% aspect ratio versus 70% aspect ratio), but the difference on the speedo should be slight. Your speedo will register faster than you're actually travelling, but that's just added insurance in case of law enforcement fund raisers.

yeah, like lwong said, no problem, these are about 1/2" smaller.

YES, they'll "work" fine as they're the exact same width as your originals. But they are lower profile tires and may harshen the ride a bit, albeit handling may improve. Considering the overall height difference is very slight, you won't even notice a differece in speed vs. speedo reading (maybe 2%). Since they were paid for by another (gift) mount them up and count your blessings.

May I recommend either describing your vehicle in detail the first time, or put this description in your signature. It makes it a lot easier for us to answer questions.
17" tires were on Special Edition, Eddie Bauer, and sport package 4x4 models. 16" tires on all other 4x4's. I don't know about 4x2 models. 65 vs 70 means a lower profile by 7%.
