Default Anybody have a pic 33's vs 35's

Guys, I have a 2010 Sahara with 18in stock wheels and looking to lift it, either 2.5 or 3 and either put 33's or 35's. Here are a few questions I have.

1. Can you see a huge difference?
2. MPG with 33's vs 35's
3. What type of mud tire are you guys getting good miles out of? I am looking at the Trail Grapplers.
4. YOU GUYS HAVE A PICS OF A SAHARA with 18's lifted and tires?


THANKS

Here's when I swapped mine:
Rear is 35's with a 2.5" coil lift............................front is 32's with a leveling kit spacer


mpg dropped 2...still on 4.10 gears, but soon will be better

Wow!! Those 35's look awesome! Best fit for a JK in my opinion... Well, 37's and up look awesome too. The stock tires look puny. As for 33's....I just don't see the point, but that's just my opinion.

That last picture is kinda optical illusion,

1. the 35 is closer than the 32
2. the 35 has no weight on it
