Yep.
Getting the LT285/70R/17 for a Jeep Rubicon. They are wider (11.5" vs 10") and and have a slightly larger OD (32.8" vs 32.1") than the stock BFG Mt's (LT255/75/17).
The width won't bother me as the new rims I'm putting on have a backspace of 4-7/8" as opposed to the stk rim backspace of 6"... so they won't rub on the inside and the 0.7" OD difference is virtually negligible. They will stick out 2" further than my stock Rubicon tire/rim combo.... which is ok too because their's a lot of room under the Rubicon fender flares.
BTW, if anybody is interested, here is the best Tire/Wheel sizing calculator I have ever found. If you are thinking about changing tire or rim size, this will tell you if it will work.
