The tire shop that I got them from ordered me a set of the 35x12.50's and the 33x12.50's in case the 35's rubbed too much. The 33's were not much noticably larger than the stock 275/55/20 Pirelli's (31.9") so I was really glad that the 35's fit. They were much more aggressive looking, but barely larger.
I really like the look of the 35's on a 20" wheel. The 33x12.50 R20's look too low profile for an off-road tire in my opinion. If you can only fit 33's, then go with an 18" wheel. If you can fit the 35's, then go with a 20" wheel.
Check my gallery for more pics of my set up.

Thanks for all the input, it is really helpful. I really like the setup on your truck Ameration. Now that I think about it I guess 33's wouldn't be much larger than what's on there now, so if I wanted it to look different than 35's would be the way to go. I think I'm really more interested in a wider look on the wheels/tires, so do the 12.50 really look wider than the OEM's?
I would do 20's but from the ones I like they would run me $320/wheel compared to the 18's which would be $185 (man so freakin' expensive) and I guess if I can't get 35's then they would look too low profile. You mind if I ask how much you paid for those 20's?

Speaking of leveling kits, the shop that I was working with said they don't carry the AutoSprings (which sounds like a popular one from forum members) and they have another brand like Revo?? (or something like that) and it'll cost $250 installed. I was quoted by LesSchwab that their leveling kit was $125 plus $60 installation (is a leveling kit the same thing as a "coil spring spacer"). Should I try to get the Autosprings since they have a reputation that many are going with? So any input on this

For some reason I wanted to go with 22s but 20s are sounding more realistic for what I want, but Ill continue to look. Ameration how do your tires ride on the highway? I will definately add a leveling kit when I add the wheels. If I put on 35s do I need to regear?
Thanks
