A 245 50 17 tire is significantly different than a 265 50 17 tire.

It ain't just the tread width that changes. The only component that will probably stay the same will be the bead. Tread, plies, liner, apex, sidewall, overlay (if used) will all be of different width and slightly different contour (fabric components will only have width changes). The 265 will be taller. SW deflection will differ. Contact patch will change and not just due to tread width.

So when you say you want the same tire with only a different width you ain't gettin' that.
