I have sand tires unlimited 10.50 - 17s. , I believe they equate to 33’s. I’m looking to go to up to the 35’s in the front for a few different reasons. Would those be 10.75’s or the 12.50’s? 
 

Would anybody have a nice set laying around they want to sell? Just putting the feelers out there.

12.50s are about 36” at 6 psi and go up from there drastically. I think Kartek says they’re 37.5” 

12.50 at 20 psi roughly 39” compared to a bfg 35

That’s a big tire.
 

The 10.50 measured 33.5 at 18psi

i like your big jug of coins btw. I have one about half full.

The 12.50s are huge. I questioned the purchase until I finally got my car assembled at full weight in the sand. 
 

Don’t run into them with a car. They are heavy and just break. Big coin mess after 

 
I don't think STU makes a 35" tire. As stated the 12.50 is a 37" and the 10.75 is a 15" rim that is still a 33" tire. One option is to run a shaved Baja Pro 35" but I do not know what the diameter actually is after shaving it down. If you're stepping up on tire make sure you have a spindle that can take the extra load (2" hollow) which it looks like you already have.

You’re kind of screwed with a 17” wheel. There isn’t an in between. With a 15” wheel you can run the 10.75 or the Baja pro 35. 

 
My Sand Tires Unlimited 12.50X17 are.38" tall with 22psi.

The car I’m pretty sure has the bigger spindles. Before I bought it the car had bigger tires on the front, but the previous owner took them and put them on his new car.

What’s your opinion… will my car look stupid with 38s in the front and 33’s in the back? 😂 

i only have a 2d and don’t want to go 35’s in the rear.

10.50s up front with 33s in the rear are a good match. Going 12.50 up front you'd need a 35 or bigger in the rear to look good, just not with a 2D.

 
I agree with the above, leave it as is.   If anything you could try the shaved Baja pro 35s
