I picked up the Nitto's I have at the ALL-Truck Nats in August, I had been
thinking about that size to fill out the wheel wells, but I wanted to avoid
having to install a Body Lift on the Dakota...
At a $110.00 a tire, it was a good deal!
Nitto touts the 265-70-17 as a 31-10:50-17in the ads for the Terra Grappler,
and I figured they'd Fit with no problems.

Ron,
Have you considered the 275/70R17 size at all?
They are about 32"x11"
