It all depends on preference. I like pro comp xtreme AT's, my .02. But I usually look at tires through Google images to see what they look like on different vehicles to get an idea of the different angles that are shown.

You'll be able to clear 33's if your 4x4.

33s with no level, if you add the 1.5 level you can run up to a 35. Depending on tire it may rub a little. I found that a 295/70/18 which is basically a 34.5x12 fits great with no rubbing.

Right. You can run a 35x12.50, but they will rub the control arms slightly at full steering lock.
