I have a 12 Rubi with stock BFG AT's 255 75r 17's. I love the stock Rubi wheels. I want to keep the stock tire height of about 32 cuz I don't want to spend another hundo for a speedo recal. I do want a wider tire with same aggressive tread. Also I'd like to stay away from spacers, quite a pickle I'm in. If there is anyone in the whole wide world that could help I'd be thankful.
You could go to a 265/70/17. They are an inch or so wider and just slightly smaller in diameter, about 1/4" if I remember correctly, not enough to worry about the speedo.
It's a popular size tire too, so it's easy to get. That's the size that came on my Dodge Cummins in load range E.
275/70r17 is another choice. Maybe harder to get, and a little larger in diameter. But it should fit without rubbing and only a little error in the speedo.

Yes! 265/70/17... its 10 millimeters wider...not much. Should match up in height (at least enough to not mess with the spedo) and very common tire size.
I saw some really nice looking 285/70/17 Nitto tires today on some of the Jeeps at the dealership today . They run a respectable 1.2 inches wider and 0.7 taller than a stock rubi wheel . Don't know if they would fit on the stock wheel though .
Hi I am running 265/70R17 too on a V-tec off road wheels with 0 offset. I believe it is 4.75 BS. Not too bad looking.
