35's or 36's is the question
 

Hi guys. I am in a rock and a hard place here on deciding if I should get 35's or 36's. First off, let me say that I have the procomp 6001 rims which has a
-6 offset in a size 17. I have a 6" lift and I am currently running 285/75/17's which look way to small. I am after some tire hight and width to beef up the appearance of the truck. would 35's look small on a 6's lift, or should i go with a 36? Of Course, pictures are always welcome if you have a 6" with 35's or 36's. I don't mind to do a little trimming if need be to fit the 36's, just as long as I don't get that stuffed look. Any help/pics would greatly be appreciated! :beers:

You won't really notice a big difference in 35s or 36s, but you should be able to fit 36s with no problem on a 6" lift, so either one would be good. Theres a guy on here (I can't remember his name) who had a 6" lift and 36" iroks, and they looked great on his truck.

ive only got about 5 inches in the rear and about 4 in the front and i have 35 in tires and they fit perfect and aint too big or too small

Email me and i will send you pics

:thumbsup:thanks guys. what can i expect as far as the tires sticking out past the fenders with my -6 offset. pics would be awesome!

big50 is his name!

atleast your tires will be twice the size of your rims. Cant stand those dudes that run low pro sizes on 22's. A real off roaders rule of thumb should be that your tire should be atleast twice the size of your rim. If its not then you are considered a street queen.

Those will stick out about two inches, maybe even a little more if it doesn't have factory fender flares.
Thats not necessarily true, theres lots of guys on here running 20s, and even 22s, with 33s and 35s that do just fine offroad, and they definantly aren't street queens.

i'm a a fan of a lot of sidewall rather the low profile tires, which is one reason I don't want to upgrade my rim size. Your alls trucks look good and it looks like 325's would fit/look pretty good under a 6" lift. What is the actual difference between a 35 and a 36? Is it one inch height/width difference? Sorry if these questions sound like noob stuff to some of you, but I've tried looking on the net for a side by side picture of the two and didn't come up with anything. Also, does anyone have a pic of a 33 beside a 35 or 36? That would be awesome so i can see what the differnce will be. The tires I am considering are the the nitto mud grapplers or the procomp xtreme AT's. I know the nittos are a mud tire and the procomps are a all terrain... i just haven't made my mind up with which on i want to go with. Any added info/suggestions are always welcome. To me it's more mileage with the AT's or better over all traction with the grappers. I just haven't made up my mind. I really appreciate all of the responses. Sorry I haven't been on here to reply sooner than this but my internet connection went out on me and I just got it working again.

04lariat711 your pic worked.. .and truck looks good!

FordToughGuy Who makes the 285/75/17s? Ive been looking for that size tire and cant seem to find it.

I rubbed with 35s on my old 05 with that same wheel, but if you don't mind trimming 36s would look wicked

here's my old ride with 325/70/17 terra grapplers

Hey thanks fordthough.. And to answer your question about the difference in size between 35 and 36" tires it honestly depends on what brand your looking at. I think my iroks actually look about the same height as the nitto mud graps even though they're advertised as a 36. A buddy of mine had 35" toyo m/t on his 150 that looked small. I'm really not sure why there is a difference between brands but there is. Also, I would stay away from 33" with a 6" lift imo. It would look way to small.
