Like a dummy I ordered the same tire size I've had forever, 265/65R17 Michelin LTX's, BEFORE I found out that new wheels were 7" width.
Will 265/65R17's fit the 17X7 wheels OK?
Do I need to worry about the difference in offsets?
Thanks!

Unfortunately, Tire Rack recommends 7.5”-9.5” rims for all four of their Michelin LTX 265/65/17 tires, with a measured rim width of 8.0”.
The difference in offsets isn’t an issue if your old wheel/tire combo didn’t rub.
I have 255/75/17 tires on my 7” rims (same style as your new rims).
