okay im finally gonna install my lift sometime over the christmas holiday and im gonna get some new tires soon thereafter... the lift is gonna be 3.5 fabtech spindles in front and AAL's and chevy shackles in the rear with 15x8 wheels with 3.75 backspacing and im not sure if i want 33x12.5 or 35x12.5 tires... so what would you choose and why

 

go big or go home..

 

i voted 35s because i love the look of 3literbeater's truck and his is a standard cab truck like yours with 35s. just looks hot..

 

like he said

 

he had a body lift though...

i say go 33's because IM, 35x12.5's on 15x8's just looks weird.

 

35's+standard cab=hotness!!

 

when he first mounted them no he didnt...


my vote 35's

 

if you get the 33s once you get it lifted and like a month later you will be like man i wanna go higher..and you will want 35s..so just go ahead and skip 33 and run the big mack daddy 35s

 

yeah thats kinda what im thinking... i still kick myself for not getting 32's a few years back

 

yeah i love his truck

 

im saying 33s because i dont like to see big tires tucked all up in the fender well i would like to be able to flex a little but thats just my 2 cents

 

as far as i can remember he never had a BL

 

Go 35's, I was in your position a year ago and decided on 33's.........I wish I had skipped 33's and just went for 35's.

35's

 

What's your focus? Offroading or your street driving?

If offroad: 35's. If street: 33's. My 35's have cost me a dollar or two, but I wouldn't want to get rid of them. I think 33's are more "cost effective".

I'll vote when you give me the answer, Billy, lol.

 

I agree, especially with the 3.0... what's your diff gearing?

 

well i would be doing a lot of wheeling if i was still living up in delaware but i dont know where to go or have anyone to go with here so that said i plan to do lots of wheeling just dont know where yet... i miss wharton

 

4.10's

 

I vote 35's!

 

Well, with 4.10's and your current situation: I vote 33's. I really wouldn't do the 35's with the 4.10's and a 3.0.

 

you do make a good point... i do plan on re-gearing at some point but i plan on having a front axle at the same time

 

but once again ill chime in and say, 35's, 4.10's and a 3.0 isnt as bad as every one thinks, just cause it doesnet look good on paper and in theory doesnt mean anything IMO, my truck moved quiet nicely with that set-up and got decent gas mileage.....no with that being said, im voting 33's cause of the wear 35's will possibly generate over time......i think that is about the only downside...

 

ya, 35's 4.56's

 

what he said!!!

 

dont say it unless youve tried it........
