Default 255/65/17 vs 265/70/17 on F150

Is there a problem replacing OEM 255/65/17 tires with 265/70/17 on a 2013 F150 2wd supercab? Will they look better? This is more about image for my son rather than MPG.

So you want to take stock tires from a ford pickup, mount them on the rims from a Jeep JK, and run them on the Jeep JK. The ford tires are roughly an inch taller, and a few tenths wider than the tires that came on the Jeep JK. Though bigger than the previous set, they are about the size of the tires that come on stock Jeep JK rubicons and some Saharas, so no problem at all.
