Uhh, where are you seeing such a size. There's a 225 75 16, a 235 70 16 and a 235 80 117. No 225 65 17 that I can see at tirerack or BFG's page for the tire.
There's a number of people experimenting with other tires, jury is still out on what all fits well or good enough. Odds are for anything offorad, you are going to need at least new wheels (16"), if not wheels and a spacer.
I ordered some Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S 225/65/R17's from Belle Tire today. They told me they'd fit.

They ship from Indiana, so it'll be a few days. I'll try to find this thread after they're installed and report back.

Hypocrite- If those fit, that's probably going to be an ideal tire. Less than 3 lbs heavier than stock as opposed to 15 lbs or so for an LT type tire. Let us know.

this size I never try.. with original wheels they can come... but with spacers I think they rubber a little bit during turning....

Juan- I don't know. I can't find a straight answer on if the G-Force kit adds an inch to a Trailhawk or just replaces the factory lift which would give you a net increase of <1/4". If the latter is true, probably not.
Those are nice! Beefier than the Yokohamas, for sure.
Tirerack had that size listed then removed it, and I cant find the size on the BFG website so I am not 100% convinced they exist. I like the geos, and I am anxious to see if yours fit. You have a trailhawk correct?
That's correct, I have a Trailhawk. They said the tires may come in today (Fri) or it could be Mon or Tue. As soon as they're on I'll post pics and tell you how they fit.

I can't wait to see how they fit. I have the trailhawk also and I thought about getting the same tires but the 16." Did you get new wheels also or are you going to reuse the stock? :laugh:
I'm sticking with the stock wheels.

.. it's real 1" lift on every model ... I'll search a photo of a TH with lift and stock tires.. 215/65 17 ...
Right, G Force confirmed this to me, it will lift every model 1", including TH.
So I guess we can get some acceptable tires, like 225 70 R17, for those who would like to keep the stock TH rims.
If my research is correct, the 225/70/R16's would be roughly 1/3 of an inch wider and about 1 1/2 inches taller than the 215/65/R16's. So it'll depend on how much extra room you have in the wheel wells. I'd suggest checking with a tire store for an expert opinion.
Nope. I don't know what's taking them so long. Maybe they're coming from Japan and not Indiana...:|
