what should i do???

Allright guys i have my rims and BL ordered but i don't have tires yet. I currently have 265/70/17 BFG AT's with only 10000 miles on stock rims which equal basicly 31 10.50s do you think i should mount them on the new 17x10 rims or just sell them on the stock rims and get new ones? will it look stupid with them at stock height with those rims?I don't know what the hell to do!!

Well, a 265/70-17 is closer to a 32x10.50. THey are a little too narrow for a 10 inch wide wheel. I'd try to sell them and install 33x12.50-17 to a 35x12.50-17 tire on the new wheels.

Allright but that sucks b/c i just bought them a few months ago. never shoulda got em! I guess will try to find some used 33s. They will fit stock height with a little front trimming w/o doing the BL right? Or 35s with BL with a little trimming and cranking t/bars. Thanks again Wandell

I found 315/70-17s or 34.4x12.4 with about half tread. Will they work w/ BL with a little trimming and not cranking t/bars? It rides pretty smooth now and i don't want to effect it much. It has the off road package if that helps.

Yes, 315/70-17's will fit with a body lift. You will have to trim a little plastic off the valance. I have some pics in my gallary.

yeah i cheacked them out and it looks great! So just trimming the lower valance and i won't have to crank the t/bars? In your opinion should i get the 35s or just keep lookin for 33s. Will the 35s kill my tranny w/o having my Edge programmer yet b/c i can't afford to buy that now also.It shifts strong now and pulls pretty good for stock W/ 75000 miles. Thanks again Wandell and hopefully i can just hurry up and do it before i think of other ???s to bother you about

You have to look at the total picture. What engine and gears do you have? Do you tow/haul heavy loads? I have the 5.4 with 3.55 gears and I never tow. If I towed/hauled heavy loads I would not have went with 35's.
