opinions please

I have a 2007 f-150 2wd stx it currently has p255 65 r17 tires i want to get a bigger size no plans of a lift or anything and i don't want the speedo to be off by very much so my question is would p245 70 r17 make it look goofy I'm worried about them being to skinny i also wanted to go to a more aggressive tread also if anyone knew how much it would cost to just have the speedo recalibrated i would appreciate that as well thanks

Their is really no size difference between those sizes maybe 1/4 in my suggestion would be to go up to a 265/70/17 which is around an inch or so taller and should be around the same width as your 255's you can find a more aggresive tire in that size easier also because alot of 4wds run that size tire I hope this helps.
