Tire sizes?

Since I am having tire drama with Sam's Club, I am looking at just buying 2 tires and be done with the BFG Rugged Terrains.

My question is since the 265's are 31.4ish in diameter, why can I not just slap some 32's on the EX? For the life of me I can not find what the stock 03' wheel width is. I do not have a wheel width measuring tool that you find with tire balancers.

Since I have ATS x/c's on the Ex I was wondering what size I can put on it without rubbing issues lock to lock. Does anyone have info on that?

I put 305/75/16 BFG TA/KO (I think they were even E rated) on stock rims with no lift. Only time I ever had rub was in a couple off road sharp corner scenarios. I got over 85k miles out of them too! I wouldn't think twice about doing it again! !

You can go with 305/70/16 or 285/75/16 it just depends on how wide you want your tires to be.

Both are also 614 revolutions per mile also.

The new BFG KO2's are seriously awesome and night and day better than the old KO's. They're so awesome, I run them on BOTH my trucks.
