hey guys I got a couple of questions

First off I bought new tires off my dad from his work I ordered the hankook dynapro atm 245/70/r17 but instead I got the 265/70/r17. So would this be able to fit on stock hieght, causing no rubbing and ****? I don't think it would but I just wanna be sure.

And second, when I'm driving doing speeds of 40km+ and when I brake the truck shakes pretty bad, I can see my hand on the steering wheel shake. Now I've been told that my brakes are warped but I changed them about 3 months ago. What can it be?

Yes your rotors are warped and yes those tires will fit.

To add to this, I had a set of tires that had to be balanced 3x before they got it right.

So dont think just because you paid them to do it that they did it right the first time. Even the slightest bit off could get vibes at a certain speed but not at other speeds.
