I have 275x65x17 on now fitting new tyres but wondering if now i should put bigger tyres on and what I could fit on with no problems now as I don't have lift on yet ?.?:bananarock::trink13:

You can 33s no probs maybe just take off the front mudflaps

Depends on your driving style and what kind of lift you have. 33's seem to fit regardless, but anything larger will more than likely require a lift kit and other mods.
Bigger tyres require more power to push them (although not too noticble with 33's) but increase drivetrain height off the ground and wheel approach angle to rocks and stumps; USUALLY making it a bit easier to roll over.

If your sticking to the road, a little off road and sand, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Yeah go to some 285's or 33's

Do you need radius arm spacers when going to 285s?
