What year and make truck? I run eagle 136's 17x10 with Pro Comp extreme AT's 37/13.50/17 on my 95 F-350. With my truck they only made it with one offset/BS which was fine for me. But I guess you could see if you could get a custom set made or run a spacer to get them out a little more if you wanted to.

The super swamper Iroc would be pretty cheap, and they are 36x13.50, but wear out pretty fast though.... they would be 36.8" tall, which is .3" taller than your current tires. Which are also only 12.8" wide.
For Backspacking you might as well get anywhere from 3.5"-4" bs, it's what most companys use any way.
Just saying, 16" rims are cheaper, and so are the tires...., any reason for the 17s?

Personally, the smallest rim that would fit is what I run. I think a smaller rim looks better, and it cheaper any way.
Your F250 can fit 16(smallest), and that's what I'd go with.
You mentioned the Eagle 186s. Those are some really nice wheels, but are exactally the same as a Mickey Thomson classic II, or Procomp 1069. All of them are made the same, but different places sell one brand cheaper than the other.(somthing to kind of look at).
For somthing that will give you good mileage on the road, but still perform off road, without breaking the bank, you be looking at some pro comp m/ts, bfg m/ts, good year wrangler mtrs, or some mickey thomson mtzs.
I'd run any of these tires. Also, if you want somthing alittle cheaper, you could look at the kumho road venture m/ts, and the hankook rt03s. I think either one of them or both have tires in about the size your looking for.

Well, what gear ratio, engine, and tranny do you have in your truck? Also, what do you use the truck for, and how much are you willing to spend?
I like swampers, but they won't get a lot of miles out of them. 35K miles
Other than that the ones I mentioned have tires in your size range, and depending on what you have and what you do, a tire from 35-38 would be somthing to think about.

To me 37 12.50 16 is a heck of alot easier to understand than 325 80 16. Since 16" and up wheels have become more popular, there have been way more tires listed in flotation rather than metric sizes.
