I like these considering your useage and the snow performance for winter trips east... That's my 2cents.
The wheels look great  What color is your rig?

I personally think that any procomps will handle snow, mud, and rock perfectly fine. My stock tires do!
What do you think about those rims though? Should I be concerned about taking them offroad?
Oh, and should I be concerned about going to a 17'' rim? I've done the math, and if I get the same size tire, I should have enough clearance. But should I get the same size tire, or wider/skinnier?

17x8.5, 6 on 5.5 Bolt Pattern
Backspace = 5in. Max Load = 2200lbsFinish = Gloss Black w/ AccentsHub Centric = YesOffset = 6mm You may end up needing spidertrax wheelspacers. Someone in 3rd gen could answer better than me I'm sure...
These are the ones you want.
As far as tire size is concerned I'd probably choose the LT265/70/17's. If you want to go big maybe the LT285/70/17's. I am more up on what fits a 4th gen better than a 3rd gens. I think lots of guys use the 285's. Skim the 3rd gen section here and read some signatures.
Off-roading- Those rims should be just fine for the type of wheeling you're doing. If the stock rims and tires are getting you there and you're not going to hardcore rock-crawl then you'll be fine.

I have Xterrains on my Jeep Wrangler. I have only ever cut one on a rock (my fault not the tire) but they sure did not last long. I have 14k on them and they are just about wore out. I am probably going to get the new BFG mud terrrain km2 next time.

After doing more resarch on the procomp tires, I think I might pass. I do a lot of city/highway driving, but I do love to offroad. I was looking at the 6ply tire from procomp, but I think I might be better off with revos/nittos or some other A/T

Hey! thanks for that info. I needed a confirmation for that, even though I thought those were the numbers I needed. Thank you for that!
I am concerned with how far the wheel will stick out towards the road. I'd obviously prefer that over it facing towards the body. I don't think I'll need spacers though....??
Thanks for the tiresize as well. All the metric and standard sizing numbers were killing me!

I retract... I had myself temporarily confused  You will not need or want the wheelspacers. I went the wrong way on my math. Checkout this site. It covers the measurements pretty well. https://www.rsracing.com/tech-wheel.html 6mm offset on a 8.5 wide rim should work well.
On the tires... 265/70/17's are considered 32's, the 285's are 33's.

Thanks man.
I'd actually be open to spacers if I could run 285's. I really like the look of the wheel sticking out past the body; very aggressive. What do you think?
If it's too big a hassel, I'll stick with 265/70/17
I dont have time to get into rubbing issues.

Those rims will have a very aggressive stance. The stock rims have almost 30mm of offet. The new rims only have a 6mm offset and being 8.5" wide they'll hangout a good bit. Maybe 285's go on a 3rd gen with no rubbing... Search around a bit. Have shop mount a used one and see if it clears...

So, i've been doing my own research to see what's going to fit...
Seem that my "stock" tires are actually bigger than I thought (I bought this truck used)
Stock size should be 265/70/16, My size currently is 275/70R16 114S. This was the info on the rim: j 16x7jj 15
The procomps should be 17'' Rims, with 8.5" Width and 6mm Backspacing.
I'm having trouble finding Procomp tires to fit 285's, so I might go with another brand.
I could use advice on what tires to go with when the time is right.

285/70-17 is the size I think you mean you're looking for. That should be readily available from most brands.
BTW, what program is that you used?!

In the right hand chart, you can see that the size I have listed is 285/70-17.

Very neat site, with other useful applications as well.

so this is one of the area's that confuses me.
On the same site that said that 285/70/17 would fit on my truck with 17/8.5 rims; they now say that that tire will be too tall for my truck, when trying to purchase a tire....wtf.
It might be a setting on the site, but who knows.
Again, to reiterate; I have no lift. This is a stock truck. Maybe a lift in the far future.
