Help with tire size with lift

I've decided to go with a 6" lift but I'm having trouble selecting a tire. I know I want to go with either 18x9 Metal Moto 951's or Pro Comp 6001.

I'm not wanting a really wide tire, nor do I want one with a lot of side wall. The tires I'm liking, is Nitto Terra Grapplers and BF Goodrich AT, just can't figure out the tire size to choose.

Any help and pictures would be greatly appreciated.

Skid...

That or a 325/65-18 (35x13.00). The Nitto's or BFG's would be a great choice.

Hey DJH1121,

I see that you have 33x13.00x18. How much of a difference would the
35x13.50x18 be compared to yours?

I don't want a really wide tire or a lot of sidewall. I'm really confused about tire size.

I only have 33's because I had a 2.5" leveling kit before I added the 6" lift kit. I plan on get bigger tires soon.

I believe the rule is for every 2" you go up in tire size you gain 1" of height.

The bigger the rim the less sidewall you will have on your tire.
