Default 275/70R17 anyone??

I'm gonna be in the market for some new tires and wheels in the next few months so I'm starting my shopping early....I've seen plenty of pictures of 285/70R17 but haven't been able to find any 275/70R17. I know there's not much difference in the size, but seeing as how I have 3.21 gears I'm trying to stay between a 32" and 33" tire....and the 275's would be perfect, just wondering if there are any pics out there?

Hey there. I will be buying that exact size together with a leveling kit in the spring. It should be the perfect size to look slightly more agressive but not worry about rubbing. I am probably going to go with Mastercraft Courser C/T's. Check them out they are made by Cooper and have a nice agressive tread and sidewall and are fairly priced.

IMO alittle rubbing really isnt a problem at all, you can rip the damn plastic brush guard thing off its a piece anyway. And I would go ahead and just go 285/70R17 thats what mine are and if you dont buy super heavy tires like toyos youll be fine. Check tire weight thats where the problem lies when it comes to gears.
