I've done some searching on the forums for the answer but nothing with the exact answer. The BFG AT KO comes in 305/70 and I'm curious whether they'll fit on the stock rims with stock suspension. Seems like they're very close in height to the 285's but a litte wider (.75"). Anyway to make these work without trimming or lifting the vehicle?
I think they are ~12" wide not quite 33" tall never been talked about, why you considering this size? THey arent as tall as a 285, tall and skinny is the way to go, no use for the short and fat. I talked a friend out of those things he was glad (Z71).
Mud, needs deep widely spaced lugs.
Snow, maybe the best place for skinny tires but they need sipeing.
Sand, needs to be wide without deep widely spaced lugs.
At least this is what my limited experience and reading has shown.
Seems like everything is a compromise. I am running Interco SSR's and they seem to work pretty well all around. They come in a large number of sizes also.
I am not sure but I think with 285/75's you might need some lift.
Here you go, this was with stock suspension, not a good idea.
Yeah, it's pretty snug. BTW - I hated that size - turning radius sucked. The only positive was that it cornered better on the highway.

Good thing I had the limb risers on, it kept all the women throwing their underwear off my vehicle imp
