Anyone running these tires..? Ive had them years ago on a Toyota and I did like them, they wore out quick but pretty good tire. Ultimately I would like a BFGoodrich AT TA (old faithful) but the 17's available are basically the same size as what I have. Im trying to keep the OEM rim, but I guess if I have too Ill go with a 16" rims to better my selection.

Im running the stock 265/70/17 Firestone's and want to find a close replacement, mainly the same diameter but as wide as I can go before rubbing. These possibly may be the deal.

How wide are the OEM rims...?

The stock rims are 17x7.5. I'm also interested in getting some larger tires for the stock rims.

 

I've got 265/70 R17's BFG AT's KO and they still look alittle skinny. I know Goodyear makes a 275/70R17 but I really don't think it's that much wider.

I just got them and I am in the process of sending them back. I thought that the 31x10.5x17 would be a bigger tire but they are not. 265x70x17 is ruffly about an 32x10.5. So you would have to go with a 32 or 33 tire to get it to be bigger. I think I am going to go with the Goodyear MT/R 275/70/17 I just need to find out if I will have enough clearance.
