A amaller tire will cause the odo and the speedo to read high. It'll look like you're going faster than you are, and that you've travelled longer than you have.

Can you put 14 inch rims on a car instead of the original 15 inch rims?

Why would you? To lower it? The smaller rim has tighter inside clearances so be careful it does not touch the brake caliper. I suggest getting a 14" rim (no tire) just to place it on the front to see if it fits (clearances). ALSO, smaller rims affect gas mileage & odometer readings, SO if you DO install 14" rims, go get your truck dyno-tuned to match actual MPH to the odometer. Note: Always consult with your local tire dealer specialist, advice is usually free of charge.


Can you replace P265-75-R16 tires with 265-70-R16?

Of course you can but you should not. The 70 series tire will have a 1" smaller diameter than the 75 series tire. Your speedometer will be 2 mph too slow. A better substitute would be a 285/70-16.
