Unless your truck is a lowrider they will work fine. They're maybe 2 inches taller than your current setup, so your speedo may be off a little

be sure they are the same load range as your 245's if your hauling. Some 265's are only a P [car] rated tire.

Your speedo will be 3.6% too slow. Or speedo will show 60, but you will be doing 62.2 mph. Here is a tire calculator. http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
