tire size change
I have an 06 F350 Lariat with the 18" wheels. Have the stock lt275/70R18 Conti's. I want some new Michelin's- I found a set of Lt275/65/R18's E rated for a great price. I think the width is the same- just 1 inch lower in diameter.
Will this work. Any issues?
Will it look odd?
Thanks.

275 * 70% of width (192/5 mm) vs 275 * 65% of width (178.5 mm)
192.5-178.5 = 14. 14/25.4 mm/in = 1/2+ (*2) = 1in+
