They would stick out about 1/2". Not much at all. Even with stock tires, they still stick out, but look pretty flush with the flares. You'll be fine.

Agreed!

285/70/17 on 17x9 wheel 4.5" BS...35 psi...


So 6" BS on a stock wheel would put u somewhere in the 1/2" range as mentioned above!

Default BFG KM2's 255/80/17

I've had these for a few months and LOVE them. I went for the tall and skinny look






Next to the OEM 32's

A little bit of flexing in the parking lot at work.

What made everyone in here pick 33's?
For me it was the fact that I could go taller without a lift. Also, I heard that the 35's are a LOT heavier and could possibly bend the C Gussets. I guess it depends on how much you wheel, where you wheel, and how often your tires are going to be up in the air In other words, if you have a lift and aren't worried about breaking anything then go for the 35's. Oh, did I mention the cost as well

dont need to regear with 33".. fuel saver too.. daily driver... look awesome on a 2 doors.. no need to modify the tailgate and/or spare carrier... budget. That sound expensive for 35 VS 33.. If I clear all those mods, I'll probably upgrade to 37+.

I second this.

Personally, I did not want the ride to change all that much. I think it still looks pretty cool with the 33s.
