Actually The rim size has more to do with clearing the steering arm/TRE and the BS has to do with clearing the caliper now that I think about it

I should note, however that I am locked front and rear...In the end, however, you have to do whats right for you and your situation.

2mbb,
After going on my first difficult off road trip this past weekend and wheeling with my stock crappy tires I still did fine. I think I might go for the A/T's now and keep stock rims.

Question: Where is the cheapest place to get 33" x 10.5" x 15" BFG A/T's? I'm thinking Costco at the moment.

Sorry I took so long to answer.

I kept it all stock. Stock steelies... not spacers at all... no scraping or noises.

I'm on my second set of these. The first set went 60K, they were 33". When I went to 35" I got another set. I just can't find anything to not like about them. I suppose if mud were a common thing in my life, I would have purchased the mudders. But Utah is pretty dry, so the ATs work very, well here and nothing has ever given me the miles the BFGs have and I have never ruined one. I have ruined lots of other tires. The best traction I ever had were Yokahama Geolander MTs. I ruined one of those, another was out of round and they only lasted 1/2 what the BFGs do. Quality and longevity are endearing characteristics.
