So it has come time to change my tires and I'm wanting to change to AT tires from the street tires I have now. The thing is I was looking for 235/65r17 but the tires I want are cheaper in 235/75r17. Question is will the 235/75r17 fit at stock height? I do have a lift to put on, 3" ome hd springs with bilstein shocks, .25" jba plate and jba a-arms. I just have to find time to put the lift on, possibly September time frame. But I might need to replace the tires sooner than that. Thanks in advance.

235-65-17 is basically stock size at 29 inches tall
235-75-17 is 31 inches tall and yes will rub stock height and sagged

i dont mind looking at wider tires, im just not sure what will fit. i do have a 3" lift i need to install so i know i would get more clearance that way as well.

Which is what the answer of the 235-65-17 being 29 inches tall would work
Since that is stock height
Anything taller and you'll need the lift installed first
At that point you can go to a 30-30.5 inch tall tire
width has nothing to do with it really, height is what you want to look at first

Once you are lifted, look at 245/70/17s. A bit more options in that size, I've run that size with 2 different OME lifts, just minor trimming on the air dam. Never touched the pinchwelds.
