I'm confused. The tires you're listing are for all different sized wheels. Do you have a lift? If not scratch the 35's and the 33x12.5 off your list....

#3 is probably your best bet of the ones you listed as far as tire size goes, but do you really want 17's on an off road truck?

17"s are fine with 35" or larger tires........

anything 31" or smaller will fit on your truck stock. If not sure how tall a tire is, input it in this handy Tire Size Calculator.

Using the calculator, option #3 is 31.61" tall. About as big as will fit stock.

Try a 265/70/16.
The 17's are a fortune, been told a $1000 per set is not unheard of.
Something with tall sidewalls and 15 or 16 inch rims, up to 31's.
The 265/16's are 30.5" or there abouts and will fit.
This all depends on what you already have for rims. I wouldn't buy new rims unless I had to.

Right. Less rubber = more money. Makes perfect sense, right?
