Why not 33's? It's a much easier size to come by...

My 285/70/17 measured at 32.7" if that helps any.

As far as them sticking out from the fender it depends on the backspacing of your wheels. Most aftermarket wheels will make a tire stick out past the fenders. My American Racing Mojaves with a 285/70/17, which is around 11.5", wide stick out at least quarter of an inch. Keeping stock wheels should keep them tucked in towards the fenders more. At least thats the case on my buddys '07 Supercrew.

Depends how you order them...if you order stock off set and backspacing they will not stick out...

Very true, I bought mine used so I have no clue as to the offset or backspacing.
