I have a set of 285/75X17's on mine. They are nearly 34" diameter, 3,970 lbs weight rated, very tight but clear everything but the lower control arm on a hard left. I have NW running boards on mine and chains won't clear those although I think before winter I can clearance them enough for cables but not real chains. Fuel mileage initially seemed a bit down but the speedo is not showing as many miles as the bit shorter ones I had before. I have an idea how much it's off but need to find out exactly how much. Figuring on what I think that number is does not appear to have affected the mileage significantly. I've only had them about a month but pretty happy so far. Drive excellent and say Made in the USA on the sidewall.
