Default Another wheel size question for 05 Silverado

I have a 05 Silverado 4x4 ext.stock height with OEM 265/70/17 (31.5''ish)Goodyear-SA's(no traction anywhere)I have been reading about the Goodyear MTR's in 275/70/17 (32.4'')My question is, can I fit these tires without a lift or front leveling kit?I have previously read that I need a 4" lift for 33"tire and 32.4" is close enough to make me wonder if I can do it without any rubbing.My goal of course is to fit the bigest tire I can without a lift.Any suggestions or personal experiances would be greatly appreciated ! thanks

You would be better off running 285s, they'll work fine, you may need to level a bit but not much. Don't get goodyear MT/Rs if you want to use them in the mud, BFG MTs are a much better choice, they pull harder and last longer. I see a mud pit once a week and work in the equipment business so spend a great time in the florida mud and can tell you BFG Mud Terrains are the way to go.
