Put 265 40 22 on a stock Yukon. Ridiculous?

Hi guys. Finally found a great price on some 22's for my 07 Yukon. They're coming off of an 08 Tahoe, which seems perfect. Then I find out they have 265 40 22 tires on there! I believe those are generally fitted for a pickup. I was expecting a 305 40 22. They lowered it one inch, which may explain why they did that, but mine's not lowered. I haven't gone to see them in person yet. Should I even bother or will the wheel gap be crazy? Has anyone seen this size on a stock Yukon or Tahoe? I haven't been able to find any. I only ask because it's a smokin' deal.
Thanks in advance....

Not sure if anyone is running that size wheel and tire combo. You are looking at about 1.5 inch narrower tire than say a 305, so it would seemingly be stretched a bit and look pretty small on in that size even on a ten inch wide wheel.

Oh ok, I didn't realize that would be the issue. Thanks

Well, I'm not an expert but I run 295/45/22's and I wish they filled up the gap more (to the point where I want to lower it a tad). So these would seem to be even smaller.

Yeah, looks like yours would be 2" taller and just over 1" wider.
