Mathematically speaking, I think 285/70R17 tires are only 32.7" high in the best case. If you want an actual height of 33", you're better off looking for a tire with an advertised height of 34" or maybe even a 35" tire that runs small. That being said, don't doubt these Duratracs and their 32" actual height. I often ran in groups where the other rigs had 35's and 37's, and I went everywhere they did.

By the way, the wheels in the pics above have 4.75" backspacing, and the tires stuck out about 1.5" beyond the stock flares. An inch of that was sidewall.

Cool, thanks. If I can get a deal going for my current GY Silent Armor 285s, I'm all over yours. In the meantime if you get a buyer, go for it. I'll keep an eye on this thread.
