tire width question
Hope everyones holidays are going well. 
Bridgstone Blizzak DMZ3 do not come in stock LT255 75/R17 for our Rubi but do come in 245 75/R17.
Does that just mean they will be 10mm thinner?
thanks.

HEre is the best tool to figure tire sizes!

Looks like it's only slightly narrower by .3"
Shorter by .6"
Should be no problems at all with that size.

They also come in a 255/70R17 and 265/65R17...
245/75"
31.5" tall x 9.8" wide
255/70:
31.1" tall x 10.2" wide
265/65:
30.7" tall x 10.7" wide
255/75 (stock):
32.1" tall x 10" wide
You wouldn't have any problems with fitment with any of these, but depending on which size you choose it may look a little funny. Anything with a shorter overall height is gonna look weird, but it's not gonna be a huge difference so it should be fine. Have you looked at any other tires that may come in different sizes...preferably something like a 285/70R17? That would look really good.
