Why not go with the BX 1500 size ag tires?

more ground clearance.

Better do the math on the tire circumference ratio front to rear. The gearing for 4wd is calculated for a certain relationship in rotation on each axle.
Then, of course, there will be a loss in power from turning taller tires- probably not enough to worry about.
In 4wd trucks, they change ring & pinion gears as they go to larger tires.

The BX18XX, BX22XX, and BX23 tires are a different size than the front/rears of the BX1500. I found out the hard way, order a set of the bigger tires for the same reason you are thinking. The rears "just fit" with minimum clearance between the tire and fender. The fronts did not fit at all, as the front hub assembly on the BX1500 did not allow for the larger tired to be installed. I ate them and ordered a complete set of AG's for specifically for the BX1500. I luckily found a local buyer for the "mistake" and lost about $75 on the whole thing. The set of (4) AG's for the BX1500 cost me $276 from my dealer ($39/front, and $99/rear).

blackmajicwoman was that the price for rims and tires

 

[frank_f15]
