does a 33" tire look that much smaller than a 35"? i live in south louisiana, it hardly ever snows, and i dont do much off road driving, but i want an aggresive looking 35" tire that'll last a long time for around 300$. can anyone tell me what would best suit me? i been shopping around, i like the nitto terra graps, and the cooper zeons, but the 35" t-graps are kinda out of my price range, and im not sure if i wanna settle for a 33". and i cant find 35" zeons for a 20" rim

 

I think 33's would look sweet on your truck with those stock 20" wheels. If you're not lifting it any, 35's would looked too stuffed IMO. I'm not a fan of stuffed wheel wells.

 

well the only thing im doing is a 3" leveling the front, and maybe a cheap 1" or 2" rear block from autozone incase my front end is higher than the back.

 

Even still, I think the 33's will look really good with a level kit. To me, 35's look best with a 6" lift. But like I said, I'm just not a fan of the stuffed look.

 

show me a picture of what u call stuffed. i just wanna see what u talking about, cuz i never really saw any wheels that i thought looked too big for a truck

 

I would go with a pro comp xtreme at that's what a lot of my buddies run at the rigs when we go in the summer and they wear pretty good up there and is prob gonna be what im gonna run next. Ive run bfg at ko on my previous truck and they seemed to just chunk out to much had big pieces missing and this was at about 12,000kms so they just don't seem worth the money.

 

they're about 130$ more than the t-graps and the cooper zeons. i dont do much off road riding so i dont really need to go all out

 

Basically where the tires are so over sized, there is not much gap at all between the fenders and the tires. People get rubbing when they turn lock to lock. Here's a very old pic of my truck. I had 33's on a stock 4x2 suspension. Talk about stuffed! They fit, but I had some rubbing at full lock when turning. Plus, I haul a lot of heavy stuff in my truck at times. I'd be afraid of my rear tires rubbing in the wheel wells even.

Since yours is a 4x4 and you're adding a leveling kit, 35's will probably be fine. I'm just posting my opinion on the subject since you asked.

Christ, I'm with you on this one, I think 35's even with a level kit looked stuffed, they look best with a lift. IMO.

 

I also agree, im not a fan of the stuffed wheelwell. I have the 3 inch level with 33s

 

thanks for the info. ill probably jus get the 33s then

 

you can run a 35. but it not good for your truck, like your bearings, brakes and cv axles or joints will brake. 33 is the best looking for your truck and it just goes with the flow of your truck.

 

what about width? if i get 12" would that affect any of my breaks, bearings, axels etc? or would 10" be more suitable?

 

Width of a tire? You don't want to put to wide a tire on your stock wheels. Doing so will cause premature wear of those expensive tires.

 

nitto's!!
