size help

i have a 05 screw 4x4 with 2.5 as. Im having trouble deciding. I have searched around and cant tell what looks better, 18" rims with 33's or 20" with 33's. Any one with either setup please tell me if the tire 2 rim ratio looks go or if you regret going one way or the other. It does go offroad alot. I would love to do 20" with 35's but lift laws in mass. prevent it thanks in advance

Personally, I'd go with a 325/60-18 (33x13.00) tire on an 18x9 inch wheel with 5 to 6 inches of backspacing (depending on how far you want the tire/wheel to stick out).

If you do, it will be at the rear edge of the front wheelwells where you can do some minor trimming but I doubt you have any.

Thats exactly the setup I have! Like wandell said, I had to trim the lower fender flare a little bit, otherwise, it's great!

18x9 wheel for a 35x12.50, if your truck is 04-present, your bolt pattern is 6on 135mm.

What backspacing are your rims? Love the look and stance of your truck from the front.
