The 80 psi rating would also explain the need for steel-not rubber-valve stems on the wheels. Indeed, the 17” BFG would seem to be the ‘stronger’ tire.

To an extent. But at least you can try. Don't try it with an alloy...
I think it looks better with the larger tires.
That looks very good. Have you measured how much difference is the diameter of the original tires and your new tire? How much more ground clearance did you get? Thx BarneyI was looking at replacing my 18" steel wheels with Method alloy ones. I decided to keep the steel and try some larger tires. I ran Toyo Open Country AT III's on my LR in the past. I liked how quiet thy are on the road. I hope to check them out off-road soon. They are 385 70R 18's. I have about an 1/8 in clearance on my spare to the door opening.
Any noise or handling issues with the Toyos, I've tried 17" Braid Alloys on mine with 295/70 General Grabber Tires, lots of noise and poor handling so back on 18" factory steels.I was looking at replacing my 18" steel wheels with Method alloy ones.
