BFG vs Pro comp

Hey guys, I'm looking to put new tires on my truck ('06 lariat 2x2). I've been looking around at prices and I'm narrowed it down to a couple of choices:

Basically the same tire that's on the truck now aka BFG Long Trail T/A size 265/60/18. I think they are 31" tires, correct me if I'm wrong please.

OR

Nitto Terra Grapplers 325/60/18. I think these are 33" tires? A buddy of mine has them on his '07 and they look really good.

I plan on keeping the stock wheels, just wrapping them in a new set of rubber.

Thoughts?

The 325x60's are a little over 33 inches tall and close to 13 inches wide. Too wide for the stock wheels. Also your 2 wheel drive would have to be leveled to run a 285x65x18 (33x12) on the stock wheels.

Well I have an update...

Turns out I'm a tard and I just figured out that the first number is the tire width, not the height as I had previously thought, so I now naturally understand that the Nitto's are too big. I do have a leveling kit in my truck, so bigger tires should work out just fine. I found some BFG today, 265/70/18. Exact same tire as what came on my truck, just 33" as opposed to 31", for only about $100 more than my current set of tires. Think this may be the best route to go? Or should I look for a 275/70/18 or 285/70/18. All I really want is a set of taller tires to fill out the wheel well since I got the leveling spacer in place.

Thanks in advance.
