Default Tire questions, 33's or 35's

I know, use the search function.

Ok now that that's out of the way, I'm going to need new tires soon. I'm kinda torn. I really want to go bigger then my stock rubi tires.

Now I'm thinking either getting 33's or go for the 35's. Will I be happy with 33's??? I only offroad a few times a year. I commute 30k miles a year. So the drop in mpg's will suck. But I really want to have the more ground clearance for when I do offroad. I hate always being the one who holds other people back.

I am getting the TF 2.5 lift.

The fiancée wants me to stay with the same tires cause I didn't rotate in the spare so I would only need to buy 4 not 5 tires.

I'm looking into either BFG all terrains or BFG KM2's what do these tires wear like. I need a tire I can get 50k miles out of.

Any other suggestions? Or general comments?

Oh and I'm keeping the stock 17 inch rims.

Go 35's. I went 33's a few years ago and I always regretted it.
