As of right now I believe that BFG only makes that tire in the same size you have. Without a lift that is. If you want to go a little larger you can try the Goodyear GSA in 275/70/17. It is the optional tire for the Dodge Ram off road editions. If you do find something that is larger and does fit without rubbing let us know. And some picks also. I have the same rims as you and I am getting to the same point on tire wear.

I have the 4X4 ORP, which came equipped with the Chrome Steel wheels. I'm getting close to replacing my stock tires and I'm going to go with Radial All-Terrain T/A's for my new set. What size do you all recommend to put on these stock wheels that would fill in the wheel wells better and be a little wider? The wheels are 17", so I guess I'm asking how big can I go without the tires actually sticking out the sides of the fenders? Thanks!

I just put a 32-11.5-17 Super Swamper SSR's on my stock alum. ORP rim. I cranked the torsion bars to level out the truck and had no rubbing at all. The tires don't stick of the fender well and the look is great. Pic's to come later this morning!!!

I want to see some of those pics. How about standard pics of the BFG's on the 17" steel ORP wheels? And what's this about the "cranking of the torsion bars"? How would I do that? Does the added tire height raise the truck much? I have to go into a parking garage everyday where my antenea takes a heck of a beating.

Cranking the torsion bars explained. Our 4x4 independant front suspension trucks do not have springs in the front.They have torsion bars.If you crawl under your truck behind the front tire you will see a black metal tube that runs from the suspension to a spot near the front of the cab.Here you will find two bolts in a black metal cross bar.This is where the torsion bars are adjusted.When you adjust them it either lifts of lowers the front end of the truck.You can raise it enough to sit level or lower it so much that the suspension sits on the rubber bump stops.The more you raise it by cranking the rougher the ride.If you crank the bars to lift the truck,you will need to get an alignment.It will wear the outside part of the tread faster if you don't.For more info on the torsion bars go to the suspension thread and do a search on torsion bars.
The mickey thompson baja belteds(34x11.50) are anywhere between 800 and a grand depending on where you get them.Go to their website for pics and info.

Crank is what I meant. Sorry, Typo....

 

Green Hornet: Have you bought the BFG A/T's yet? The reason I ask is there is a nationwide back order. According to my local Sears, the wait is 3-4 weeks - meaning I have to keep driving the thumping GY's for another 3 weeks

Anyhow, good luck!
