Beating a dead horse
I have a 12 two door Auto with 3.73 gears, I want to put a 2.5 lift and go with 33's or 35's. I plan to use a 15x10 wheel, I love the big sidewall and the beefy wide look of the tire stickin past the fender flares. My question is with a auto tranny and 3.73 should I go with 35 or stick with 33's I don't want to sacrifice mileage too much as this is a Daily driver. Any help on my dilemma is much appreciated.

35s with 3.73s will be perfectly fine on a 2012 auto. I don't think 33s or 35s will change the mileage too much, I believe the lift would affect it more than the 2 inch change in tire size.

Sorry, worded awkwardly, I meant I don't think the difference is actual size between 33 and 35 (~2") would negatively impact fuel economy enough to matter. E.g. Going with 2.5" lift and 33's wouldn't actually save enough to matter not going to 35's if that's what you want.

I got a 2010 auto 2.5 lift 33" nd used procal
But I recommend the 35" as well I used to worry about how bad it will effect the fuel but its all gone as soon as the tires came in
