33's or 35's

I have 285/70/17 bfg mt's and am considering 35's with a leveling kit. What would be the advantage of the 35 versus 33 and how stuffed under there would they look. Need pic's please!!!!!!

i dunno if you will get 16-17mpg easy unless your on the interstate which i barely get 16.5-17 doing 70.

city i have gotten up to 15 with a very light foot. on average i get about 13.

but i would say 35's. i have seen leveled w/ 33 and leveled with 35s and 33's still look to small IMO.

id say the level and 35's, thats what i did.

with tires you generaly get what you pay for. I have no exparience with the kumhos but that seems to be a cheap price for 35's for 17's. I definitely feel comfortable recomending the 315/70/17 BFG KO's. onlinetires.com seems to be the cheapest place for them.

anyways, here is a few pics

Ive has 35/12.50 pro comp's and 305/70/17's. I prefer the 305's, power is a little better but I still dont see over 13mpg

I personally think 35s look too big on a leveled truck. That's a big tire to get jammed up into that wheel well when you hit a big obstacle.

I'd go with the 35's, as far them rubbing and what not, mine don't rub at all, and when I wheel I just baby it a lil bit. I average around 14mpg with mine.... all in all thats not too bad IMO.

Pics in my gallery
