33's are fine with no lift. After a lift youll want 35's, i know i do. Hell i want 37's, but the pocket book wont allow it at the moment. Get the 35's

Go with the 35s. I went 34s and wish I just got the 35s. I would be really kicking myself if I went with 33s.

go with 35s. I really didn't even debate it much as I thought I wanted 33s and that's what I went with. Now I can't wait for my tires to wear out!!

Here's what needs to be looked at to run 35's correctly..You need gears, New wheels and tires and a decent lift. Then for the 2Dr you'll need new drive shafts..My math comes out to around $5,000.00...Yeah, you can cut fenders and trim this or that to save on a lift if you want.

With 35s if u wheel hard u need to strengthen the axle with gussets for the front c's and possibly sleeves as well!

Well I wasnt upset with my 33'
s but I could not pass up the deal I got on these 35's over the weekend.



If it wasn't for that I would have stayed with my 33's.

Default Meh.

I had 35's on mine with just a leveling kit. I went down to 33's.
I like it much better. But that's just me.
