A buddy of mine had the BFG 35's on stock rims and had minor rubbing. It depends on what your going to use it for. Highway or off-road.

305's should fit, IMHO the 285's will look better and you'll get a tad more height out of them.

305 Will fit no problems.you can put 315 on a stock wheel or a 35" but they will rub on your control arm not much but wil take paint off.

im running 315 on a 17x9 moto metal rim witha 2" leveling kit i can post pic later tonight.

Toyo's offering a 285-75-17 AT now. It measures 33.8 tall,"E" rating and is darn near silent. You can view it on the TOYO Canada site.

A 305/70-17 converts to 33.8" x 12.0".

A 285/70-17 converts to 32.7" x 11.2".

I ran the toyo 285 on my stock wheels I liked them alot. like said above they were quiet and I had no issues with them at all. I run another type of toyo tire now and I like them as well. the procomp 305/70/17 looks like a nice tire E load range. the xtreme all terrain is the one I like they were just way to high at the time.
