My guess is that 20 % plus have done this upgrade .
265/75 mounted on a 6.5" wheel is not an issue at all , it is a time proven upgrade .
A LT265/75-16 E has never came OEM on a trailer wheel nor OEM a 6.5" truck wheel nor do we see LT265's them on trailers.
The 6.5" wheel width is not a recommended wheel width from any tire manufacturer for a 265/75 tire.
Some folks have upgrade their OEM LT245/75-16 E to the LT265 on their trucks 6.5" wheels. Many folks tried it, including myself, and didn't like the balloned tread effects and issue it creates.
