I have summit mud dawgs. 305/70R17. They measure out to be about 33 x 10.5. MAybe that will help. I have a coil spacer in the front.. Looks to be about 2.5 in manufacture unknown.
I am not a big fan of the mud dawgs. I would rather have a more street oriented tire in the same size...
I use my jeep as primarily a DD..

I went with 295 for a couple of reasons.. DD, (slightly) better in slick conditions, less weight, passes emissions here in Colorado without having to swap out wheels.. that said, as soon as I can afford a spare set, I will probably jump up to 35's if not 37's with the next set..

Ya they are a 18x9 with 4-1/2" backspacing. Plus keep note that the Trail Grapplers will run wider than most other tires. They have the sidebiters on them. So really a 295 may physically look like a normal 12.5" wide tire. I got a good deal on the set. I need to get a matching spare now, but need a tire carrier. These meats are HEAVY!!!!
