Cool Tire size opinion?

I just got a leveling kit for my 04 screw fx4 3 inch up front and 1 inch in the back. I dont know whether to go with 33" or 35" tires. if you have an opinion either way i would like to hear it. pics are always nice, i have been searching though the post and gallery's but not always sure whats on the trucks


Thanks

I have a 3" body and the leveling kit on my Fx4 and I run 35" without any rubbing and I think they look great. If you have the room, I say go with 35's.

I've got a 2 1/2" leveling kit on my '04 and am able to clear 35's. Check out my gallery.

Yeah i think im going to go with the 35's i think that 33s would look alittle to small, i like the way the 35's fill out the wheel well. Thanks for the help

No problem, don't forget about 34's sometimes they may fit better than a 35 if the truck is only leveled. Welcome to the site and thank's for the comment on my truck.

I should have plenty of room when the front goes up 3 and the back 1 im not worried about having room i just dont want the tire to look to big and kill my power, on the other hand i dont want to get something to small that will give me to much space in the wheel well and look bad...

You would have to go down to a 17" wheel. Nitto makes a 295x70 a 305x70 in a all-terrain. Toyo makes a 295x70 in a MT and Maxxis makes a 305x70 in a all-terrain and a mud-terrain. Goodyear makes a 305x70 in a MT also.

It ends up being a 34.8x11.2 18 which i think will be alittle different with a little thinner tire than most track better in the snow too
