I just ordered my shackles from Calmini and now i need to order tires. I am going to be using my stock 17's from my X. I dont' see a tire that is a 32' tire is made for a 17' rim.....I am looking to go with the BG goodrich AT KO tire.

any help would be appreciated.

Ok. I think your tire size now is something along the lines of 265/65/17. What you can do is go with 265/70/17 or 285/65/17 (check availability of size).

First option given is about an inch taller or so but is the same width. The second option is a little bit taller than stock, almost as tall as the first but a little wider.

both will fit with minor trimming to back of mudflap. No biggie.

Well a 17' rim is a little bigger than stock which is just shy of 1.5'. Post some pics when you get the 32 foot tires on there. That is going to be one badass truck. laugh

I have the same rims...it BFG AT's aren't going to be cheap...I just paid over $800 for mine. Unfortunately BFG doesn't make the KO in a 265/65/17 which is stock. I went with the 270/65/17. They rubbed. Took off mudflaps and put the shackles on with the torsion bar, all good. (270 is equivalent to 32")

Don't you mean 265/ 70 /17 instead of 270 65/17
