Would like to bump up tire size a notch.

I have a Screw Lariat with 275/65r18 tires on it and would like to up it a size both width and height and finding limited selection for ex 285/65r18. Also what tire size would be up one step in inches 32x11.5x18? Anyone know any brands that might have tires this size, seems like the 18" wheels are kind of limited with selection even on Tirerack.com.

Your OEM 275/65-18's are about a 33x11.00-18 tire. A 285/65-18 is essentially a 33x11.50 tire. BFG just started making the AT KO in a new size of 305/65-18 which is basically a 34x12.50-18 tire. Either of those should be fine. You could also add a 2 or 2.5 inch leveling kit and fit 35x12.50-18's.

Would I be able to cram a 305/70-17 on a 4wd screw without altering the suspension? That would be sweet. If not I think I'll go with a 295/70-17
