I figured they would. I just didn't want to go 33s or 35s and sacrifice a lot mpg. If I went 33s it would probably put me at 12mpg around town unless I got a programmer

Get some 285/70s. They're a narrow 33. I'm getting almost 14mpg with winter driving. 31s are practically stock...

2wd? Gonna look a little small? 4wd? Goona look comically small... 4wd with a level 34" is about ideal, however not a super easy size to come by. I liked the diameter of my 285/70R17s but did not like the width. I wanted 12.5" so I went with 35x12.50/17. If I had to do all 5 (I keep a size matched spare) I would go with 33x12.50/17 OR 305/70R17 (which is 34x12.5-ish...).

I didn't lose MPG when I went from OE to 280/70R17 (33"), however I did lose 3-4 mpg with 35s. I got most of it back with the tuner. A Gotts mod / intake tube may help...

I would like to swap the 35 12.50 MT Baja MTZs from my Bronco to my 150 but Not the same bolt pattern and 35s without gearing or a programmer would be a drag.







maybe the 285/70 17s are the way to go.

Diameter 32.72
Tire Width 11.46

I found some nittos for a decent price... http://rimzoneonline.com/nitto-terra...285-70-18.html

Guess my fear is buying them and being a big MPG let down costing me more money on a tunner/programmer or gears.
