Default Tire Size Questions

Okay, here is my dilema. I have an 05 QC Hemi 1500 4x4. I raised the front end about 2", I think officially it was 1.75" but you get the point. I am getting ready to get some new tires, but I cant find the size I think I want. The 275-70-17s I have now equate out to about a 32.1" tire, I am wanting a 33, but do what is the metric size? Is it a 295-70-17? Cause I cant find those nowheres. I know a 285-75-16 is a 33, the way a 315-75-16 is a 35. Im not going with an aggressive tread like swamper, just somthing like the MT AT BTZ, more street use than off road.

Any ideas what metric size I am looking for?

Or you have a 285/70R17 which is same diam as the 305 but it is like 11.8" wide instead of 12.5. I just put the 285s BFG AT on mine. I would have needed a offset wheel with the 12.5 to keep from rubbin.
