deer slayer Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Ok guys I need a few opinions on what to do with tires. I can clear 33 inch tires right now as she sits, so should I go with 33s or lift it and go with 35s? What do y'all think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitetailfreak55 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 285s fill it out more but worse gas millage. If You get 265s that Are more meaty they'll fill out more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deer slayer Posted August 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Yeah I know mine are wimpy 265 lol! What kinda truck ya got? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deer slayer Posted August 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Plus my rims have like 0 offset so if I get different rims with more offset they'll stick out more and that'll look better also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 I'd just leave it if I were you, I'm sure that thing sucks the gas the way it is, put bigger tires and a lift on that and it'll really hurt your wallet at the pumps lol. Got 255's on mine, but it's a 2wd street truck, so they look like a fairly large size... thinking about going 285's or 295's on the back then 245 or 255's on the front. Low profile though to suit the truck, but then I couldn't rotate them which would also be expensive. think I'll just keep it the sleeper she is for now.

arrow32 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 What do you want it for? This is what I do when looking at lifts an bigger tires. Like you I don't worry about the gas but my Cherokee is my DD. well was until I started driving an old beater truck a month or 2 ago. As she sits I have a 2 inch lift and 30x9.50 wild country mud terrians goes great. Am in the works here sometime of putting a 4 inch lift on it but who knows when and some bigger tires. Anyway ask yourself what it'll be used for. If for mainly street drivin and no mudding or trail riding Im assuming then if you do go bigger throw the 33s it'll cost less. And those mud terrains don't last on the pavement. Your going to be lookin at over a grand for tires if those are the 17 inch rims. Know this because I've priced them. Not saying you can't find them cheaper for those 35s but good luck. Also can you afford the replacement parts with the bigger tires wearing everything out. Plus other things. Just a couple dumb thoughts from my thinking anyhow. Other than that I say go for it.lol I like big tires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deer slayer Posted August 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 I found a set of 33 wild country MT for 350 and their brand new I'll prolly just go with those. My rims are 16s but I gotta get different ones because they have hardly no offset so they'll rub at full lock. Plus it looks stupid with bog ole fancy tires and stock rims! haha.
