pic request 255/85/r16

Is anyone running these 255/85/r16 tires on a stock k20?

I am set on a tire that isn't as wide as a typical 33" tire, but still gets me the height. I am trying to find a tire that is somewhat affordable.....I hear nothing but problems with the cooper tires that are offerred in this size, and the bfg mt tire is a bit too agressive in this size.......I think if all goes well, I will end up with the toyo AT tire.

Anyone know if these 33's will fit under a stock k20 without issue?

How bout the BFG All Terrain? The tread isn't too aggressive, road noise isn't bad at all. Ive had a couple of sets of these and I really like the way they ride. I have 33 x 12.5 16.5 under my stock 71 k20.
