Many here have 35" tires on 20" wheels with no issues.

Go this route and you'll be very happy.

will do! if i dont like the way it looks, i'll have an excuse to get my 6" lift sooner! thanks for the honest opinions

I'm curious too...

It's not an OEM sticker, is it?

Grubrunner,

Did you have to cut your fender wall at all. Cause I was going to go 2.5 Daystar leveling kit with a 305 55 20 Toyo with 20" Rockstars. Should I go with 35s whats the difference??

Thanks

For the first part of your question, yes, cutting was required.

The link below will show you the cutting my truck faced and explain in further detail -

For the second part: For me it was mainly cosmetics.

Even though there is [only] a couple of inches [less maybe] difference in the height of 33's as opposed to 35's, IMHO, the 35" tires fill that wheel well up a lot better.

I've seen trucks on here with 20" wheels and 33" tires and, while some, depending on the type of tire chosen, do look "acceptable" for the most part I think they look not right. Of course, suffice to say, this is my opinion only as I'm not hating on anyone's chosen path.

The flip side of this coin is that, there's a school of thought that claims those extra couple of inches or so in tire height, puts the ride "further" out from the OEM ride-quality and places undue stress and whatnot on the vehicle's drivetrain.

Personally, I, for the most part, don't buy that.

Another factor you may wish to consider is, price.Though I haven't priced 33's as opposed to 35's, I'm sure there is a difference, albeit a little I'm assuming, but could add up when you multiply by four.

You really have to weigh up your options, taking into consideration appearence and the other factors I've listed [and forgotten to] above, and go with what works for your needs.

There's a wealth of information on this board, and as many pictures, so spend some time searching, ask questions amd come to your own conclusion.

Ultimately, good luck and post pictures upon completion.

Cheers.

Gub - love the setup - do you have rubbing with 35's or did you shave?

Wheels = 20x9.5 Pro Comp 7005 (black ones) Stock OEM Ford 20x8.5 (Silver)
Sticker = Firestone RideRite Airbag warning (for the dealership)
Saturday = Yes I'll be there, didn't they move the local though?

Thanks for the compliments.

Jesse
