You can fit 265 70 17 on your truck with noo rubbing, you can go bigger with a leveling kit. Also do u have a 4x2 or 4x4, because if you have a 4x4 i think u can squeez 33 maybe 35's with a leveling kit.

I have 4x2... I know 4x4 with levling kit you can get 33s on and you could do minor trimming and fit 35s..

I'd suggest 265/70-17's. If you install a leveling kit, go with 285/70-17's.

The BFG MT KM. I think the Toyo Open Country MT may be available in those sizes also.

How much work does your American Eagles require to keep them nice looking?

I try to polish them every couple months with Blue Majic metal polish. My Mother's Powerball makes this a lot easier.
