Stargazer, any problems with the tire's larger size rubbing the wheel wells in the front during hard turns or off-road shock compression? I go off-roading fairly often in the Colorado Rockies...want to make sure they will work well off-roading. Thanks...

Ultimately I went with the BFG instead of the Revos because I wanted the durablity of a truck tire for off-roading. I've already suffered a puncture off-road and I want to reduce the chances of it happening again.
It's incredible how prices ranged in the shops around here. I had quotes from ~$230 to $271 per tire for the Revos. (The OEM 265/65/17 were always more expensive.)
The BFGs are 1-inch taller than the OEM size so when the speedometer shows 60 mph, I'll really be going 62 mph. It's funny how anal different shops can be about non-OEM sizes. One said it was beyond their allowable specs while another said it was within it.
Anyway, here's the latest picture. I like the larger size because it fills the wheel well a bit more. It's a tight fit for the spare but it works. I chose the OWL to show because I wanted a more "truck-like" look:
