I am still in school somewhat. 5th year engineering at Uni lol
in a 17" rim 285/70/17 (11.25" wide) or 305/65/17 (12.3" wide) are a 33"
in a 16" rim 285/75/16 or 305/70/16
in a 15" rim 33/10.5/15 33/11.5/15 or 33/12.5/15
They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time, it works every time.

Also remember snicko your speedo will get thrown out with larger tyres ( not that there accurate anyway! ) but something 2 be aware of

Staying with the correct tyre size does not void your insurance and you have more power with smaller tyre sizes. BUT if you want to get out there and get amonst it, a good set of All Terrains (Goodyear Duratrax, Mickey T 4 rib ATZ) or an easy going Mud terrain (KL71, KM2, Goodyear MTR, etc) in a will do you the trick.
Setting the rig up to do the Canning, Cape York, Kimberly, The Simpson, The High Country and any other dirt track I can find so I think I have a problem as no set up is going to do it all.
I need to find a happy medium!

I would go a set of 33" muds and maybe a 2" lift for a bit more srticulation when you need it. When I went from 31" tyres to 33" tyres my speedo actually became correct, well speedo is 1km faster than GPS.

as mentioned your speedo will be out. I put a thread on here not long ago with different speedo pinions to match different tyre sizes to get your speedo with in spec.

I have had fitted Old Man Emu springs and shockers which lifted up a couple of inches so 33" muds should be OK?
