Changing Rim Sizes
Tires, especially sizing, makes little to no sense to me. Heres what I'm looking at...
How close in overall size is this 255/75/17
To this 32x11.5x15?
Tire calculator says, 255/75/17 = 32x10.04x17
Does the rim size make a difference here? Or is this telling me that the overall height of the 2 set ups are BOTH 32"? I'm so lost...

I have the 32s now. Thinking of picking up the 255/75/17s. What are your guys' thoughts?
Waaaaiiitttttt, these are 17" Moabs. This would mean that the factory bolt pattern is 5x5 right? My 95XJ is 5x4.5 if I recall correctly... (Insert expletive)

16" Moabs are quite the rarity here in the Midwest evidently. If anyone has them, they want an arm and a leg for them. These are like the Acura RSX wheels of the import world. Anyone who owns them thinks they're plated in gold! If I could just find a decent set of Ravines, I could keep the 32s and put this fiasco to bed once and for all!
***Anyone know what the 16" equivalent is of a 32"?***
285/75/16 maybe?
