Just trying to help save him money in the long run to get what he eventually wants, which is 35's, per his original post...

P.S., running a 12 inch wide or greater tire on stock 7.5 wheels, is less than ideal and will not occur on Our rig. If I wanted to join the 35 inch "club," I would have done stock rims with a 35/10.5 SSR or done a 35/12.5 KM2 with a 71.5-73mm center bore wheel with a width of 8.5-9.0. So that means lift, tires AND wheels to join a fricking club?! NOOO thank you!!

Me too. He could spend an extra $175 now on 285/75s instead of going with 255/80s, like the set up, instead of trying to sell his 33s in two years, buying 35/12.5s and have a $950 difference to make up. That's a SAVINGS of $675

But if he gets 285/75 and regrets it and goes with 35x12.5, that's not much savings 
. If you would happen to get 35x12.5x15's, you'd have around $80 per corner left over (vs 285/75/17) to put towards wheels 
Some people don't like them, but i'm a big fan of the 15's for looks and savings. But some aftermarket components such as big brake kit and some tie rod ends don't work with them.
