Big Bend comes with 32... Can I put 33 on stock Big Bend without a lift?
Hopefully as soon as someone does, or tries it they post. I'm planning on going the same route. Keep the 32's for a bit then switch to 33's. IF they will fit. Otherwise going to keep the 32's and go with a more aggressive tread to mean them up a bit.

Toyo open country at/3 285/75/17 with a c load rating is going to look siiiick on a Big Bend 2door. Here it is compared to the OEMs:

I think it is a great size. Probably only available in D/E load rating? I think the Toyo is one of the few C rated in that size (I like a soft ride and feel if possible).

This will be the first of the flood of the same question. Might be worth getting a sticky going with a model and tire size compatibility chart, once confirmed.

Mainly because 'Can I fit X tires on my Y vehicle' is the most asked question on every single 4x4 forum.
Should include the wheel/rim offset too.

Wheel diameter that clears the caliper would be a nice addition

Gonna try for 16's but of course no idea yet

Im the OP that ran the numbers on that thread, and yes, that tire should JUST fit. 33.2-33.4 will be a bit more comfortable at 11.0. 33.7-33.8 is absolute max. same goes for 11.2 wide given the upper control arm.

I am also looking at toyo at3s - but 275/70/r18 for the 18" OBX. These are actually 33.4 not 33.2. So perfect. It’s the lightest E of the bunch. Snow rated. Good spec. However hearing some mixed reviews on noise, plus it's load E. My alternative is to go with Cooper AT3 XLT load e, which is slightly heavier but reviews on wrangler/4runner/ranger forums say that is the quietest E grade. My LAST alternative to to go with 17" 33.8" tires. But they really just dont make that rim in a 55 offset. I would need to buy big bend rims, or find some other route. I'd hate to toss the stock OBX rims as they are my favorite of the bunch. OBX guys have a bigger dilemma then big bend guys. That's for sure. We don’t even have access to load C
