sure if you got a d30 and an 8.25 then 37's might not be better than 33's .

Goodyear never made an old-style MT/R larger than 40", so that's exactly what tire that is. Further, I've seen that truck in person and it is indeed as advertised.

That's because you haven't trimmed your fenders at all.

Also, the wide rock rings are throwing off the proportions of that 17" wheel, not 15" making the sidewall look shorter than it actually is. Moving on....
