what is the spec on the 31" tire you have (width)?

i think i'll look pretty solid, really got me anxious now, i like the nitto terra grapplers, but they didnt have them in the OWL. love the OWL man
Not sure on the width of the tire. If I had to guess, about 11-11.5" ..

My tires look really narrow on my truck too, and I really want some 12.5" wide 33's. My buddy has an 04 4x4 on 33x12.5 Toyo MT's and a 2" leveling kit and my truck with the 31's sits about 1.5-2" higher than his with my new lift. So when I get some bigger tires, mine should be a good 3" higher than his truck. His tires look sooooo much wider than mine, and that's the nature of MT's compared to A/T's. I want to throw some MTZ's on it, but I just bought these Nitto's at Christmas time and only have about 1k miles on them. Anyone want some Nitto's???

EDIT: What is OWL?

I would go with 35's. That is what I am in the process of doing. The 33's don't look bad, but the 35's will look so much better.

I have been debating between 305/75-16's, 33x12.5-16's, and 35x12.5-16's.. I want some bigger shoes!

Guys, I got my tires, tonneau and nerf bar. Tires aren't mounted as yet but I put on the tonneau and nerf bar today. Tires i'll do before next weekend. Here are some pics of the progress/transformation. She's really beginning to take on a more aggresive look.

so you like the Mickey's huh?
the truck isn't so difficult to get in now either with the step.
kinda liking it more and more (the lift that is), even though i think i may still want to lower it about an inch or two.
