Need help determining the appropriate tires. (Pre-runner)
I recently started to work on the ranger a few months back. As of now, I have an HNM 5.5 kit in the front and simple f31 Deaver springs for the back. Their all sitting in the garage. The problem is I don't understand enough about tires and wheels to know what I'm getting myself into. I've definitely decided on the General "Grabber At2" set (Size: 33x12.50xR15). I really like their look, but something tells me I might be making a bad choice in terms of rim size and width. Anybody have a second opinion on tires? Because of the military and transferring, Im now in Alabama and wont be hitting the sand anytime soon, so they seemed to be the most reasonably priced in terms of both use and look.

OK, so 15x8's it is. Would anybody recommend spacers for the front at all? Or, should I stay away from them. I was told they put more pressure on the... balljoints?
Im new to vehicle maintenance and learning as I go along, so Ill probably have a few dumb questions, or say something that doesn't make sense.

You could just get wider wheels/tires. Aren't wider tires better for floating on sand? I prefer my 17x9s over my 15x10s(i think x10s, might be x8)
this is 17x9 on 35s and the tires don't stick out too far..
this is 15xsomething on 35s that are wider, and you can see they stick out further.
