Thanks. I have the stock Lariat wheels also but wasn't sure if the BFG 315/17 would fit on that narrow of rim. My truck came with the upgrade tire which was only the 265 width.

Rod Jr., they fit just fine on the rim. I haven't had any problems with them, and I too was running the 265's before I switched. These raised the truck up a little and made a world of diffrence in looks. They recommend I think it was a 8 or 8.5 but the tire isn't a full 12.5 wide. I know of people running a 35x12.50x17 on stock wheels and had no problems. These tires come stock on the H2 which has a rim width of 8 I believe, so them being on a 7.5 doesn't make that much of a difference.

Did you notice any power loss going to the taller tire or any difference in ride quality. Still want to see your pics when you get your camera back, thanks for the info.

Noticed a little loss in the mpg, but it's not a daily driver so I don't have good numbers to compare it to, just seems maybe .5 to 1 mpg and it takes just a little more skinny pedal to break them loose. Ride quality is about the same to me, they do have more road noise, but nothing compared to a m/t. I think i'm soon going to invest in a dual steering stabilizer as the bigger tires do wander a little more when hitting bumps and pot holes. I'm working on the picture situation so hopefully soon.
