I'm a bit confused... I'm putting together my build for a 2.7 Badlands 4 door - and the stock wheels and tires look ok, but I really like the look of the optional (non squatch) wheels and tires... both the stock and upgraded tires are both listed as 285/70/17, but one is an AT and one is a MT - but why does the MT look SO much bigger?
Upgraded wheels/ and MT tires:

Those optional wheels are my favorite too. But the reason the tires look so much bigger is because of a bug that’s actually showing the Squatch tires instead of the 33 M/Ts. If you look at the beauty ring the tires dont even touch the wheel and they don’t match up.

Do not base your purchase off of the CG image. Look at the specifications for the tire size and compare that to real world examples.

If you really want to see the difference visually between 33 and 35. Here is an image of a Jeep with 33's and the 35's next to it.

The site is not doing this on purpose to make them look better, the site has a glitch and is placing the 33MT (285/70/17 MT) tires out further in the image than they should be placed. Look close and you can see that when you select the 33MT tires there is this gap (see pic below) between the wheel and the tire (and on the rear gap you can see the desert floor through the gap). When you select the 33AT tires this gap is not there, nor when you select the squatch wheels. This gap is only seen on every BL build when selecting the 33MT.

if you are considering the 33MT tires, they will be the same size as the AT, just a different, more agressive tread pattern.

It’s a bug. What it should look like. I am getting those optional wheels. My question if any one knows. B&P is still all terrain tires with those wheels versus mud terrain. Is that also a bug or do I get a choice of AT versus MT?
Thanks

You can choose the MTs for extra or keep the standard ATs, it's in B&P, think 600 or so extra.
