I'll be more specific. Here are some steps.
1. 4wheelparts.com
2. Click on "tires" on the left side of the screen
3.On that page yo have the option to select size and everything but DONT, just scroll down and it will have a bunch of different brands. THe picture you see for each brand is not the only tire for sale, each brand has about 10 different tire or so.
4. When you click on the brand, the next page is the specific tires they sell, then of those listed, pick one that you like and click on it.
5. Then you will be at a page with a ton of different sizes of the tire you selected. On that page you can select "rim size" and a drop down menu will appear and you will click "17" cause thats your stock tire size. Click on 17
6. Then those tires shows will all be for a 17" wheel, and each tire will have a "tire diameter" in inches. Even the metric sized ones are converted into inches.
Hope that works!

A 12.5" tire is gonna be tight on a stock rim, will probably bump the control arm, even with a level.
Good size with or without the level would prolly be around 32" in diameter and around an 11" width.
In metric it would be about a 275/70/17 tire which is about 32" in diameter and 10.8" wide. Would look good at stock height and not look too small with a level either.
A "P" tire stands for Passenger Car, and "LT" tire is a "Light Truck" tire. A "P" can be used on a truck, but has less tread depth and a thinner ply rating and thinner side wall. Benefit would be a softer, smoother ride. The "LT" would be a stronger tire with deeper lugs and more resistant to punctures. The only disadvantage would be a slightly harsher ride. Personally, I wouldn't put a "P" tire on any truck or anything larger than a car-frame based SUV...

To me, a puck is a puck. I don't think any one is much better than another, as long as you stay with a trusted name brand. Rough Country has been around and has a good rep.
As far as the 285/70, sure it'll be fine, prolly even a better choice with the level kit...
