Icon5 Opinions wanted !!

I had the new (2),30x9.5x15s mounted yesterday.The ones i orderd by mistake.They are on the rear.I must say,they look pretty good.
Would it look to awful if I put those on the front,and put 265x75x15s,on the rear.Or should i just order 2 more of the 30s ????
Opinions needed quick,while i can still get them at a decent price.Thank you.
See ya,old retired guy

If it was me, I would stick with the same size tires all the way around. Especially now that you have come to like the look and feel of the tires you ordered by mistake.

Just my opinion, but you asked. Best of luck to you.

Putting two different size tires on a vehicle and can impact the steering geometry _ sometimes... It depends on the design of the front end.
They are very close in size, the diameter is about 1/2 inch difference, so it probably would be OK. For me I'm OCD, looking at the side wall and seeing the different tires on there would really bug me.
Look on the door pillar sticker, it will tell you what tire size should be on the truck so your speedometer is correct.
Get the tire size closest to that.

You can check tire sizes at https://tiresize.com/comparison/. I was surprised to look up a set just for fun and found out that the same tire 'size' on different rim sizes are NOT the same. Or that a 265/70 and a 245/75 are virtually identical in height!

My opinion. Same size for all 4. If you can steer. All the way to the left all the way to the right without rubbing. Then get them. Also get the speedometer calibrated to wheel size.

My opinion
