I have a 12 Rubi with stock BFG MT'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.

Your stock tire should be a 265 M/T i think. You can go up to a 33" and your speedo will be dead on. You'll rub going wider to a 285-70-17, but probably worth it.

265/70-17's are a little bit wider, but nothing too crazy. They poke out just enough to keep other cars, rocks, etc. off of the rubi wheels. These obviously aren't "aggressive" but you get the point that they're slightly wider. No rub, no issues.
