Very much so. Those are great tires for the above terrain.

I have the OME lift with 265/75/16 on it but I haven't found any mud to play in yet. Im not sure if you will want that wide of a tire b/c mine rub a little at a full turn. With an extra inch width it may affect your turning radius. Just something to think about.

I stayed with 245/75R16 so that I had a little more room in the wheel wells when my suspension articulates. I found on my last run that my rear tires rub on the rear of the wheel well when I really flex. A little trimming will solve my problem.

But this is kind of what I was saying earlier. Different terrain and location require different set up. BFG KM2 is a good all around tire for off road but that's not to say it is perfect for everything. Mud and sand don't require as much suspension travel as crawling over rocks and stumps so you can do different suspension and tire combos. You just need to talk to people and do your own experimenting until you find a set up that really works for you.

By going from a 32x11.5 to a 33x10.5 you're just trading an inch of tire width for another inch of height. The net result is going to be little to no change. If the 32 rubs the 33 most likely will also.
