Your tires are basically a 32x10.50. A 285/70-17 is a 33x11.50 and a 305/65-17 is essentially a 33x12.50. A few companies make a 295/70-17 which is basically a 34x12.00.

The 255/80R17 = 33.1", 285/70R17 = 32.8", 305/65R17 = 32.6" and 33x12.5R17 = 32.6"/32.8" (can vary between manufactures). These would be in the 33" range for you. Hope this helps.
