Default tires and suspension

i have a 99 dakota , im gonna either put 2" or 3" blocking in the rear end and crank the torsion bars up, what is the best size tire that will look ok on my truck? i wanna put 33x10.5 but i dont know if they will fit or not. or if they will just look to big.. any ideas or opinions would be awesome thanks.

33"s will rub unless you do a lot of trimming.. i would do a 2-3 inch body lift ontop of that and they will fit just perfect, if you don't wanna do that 32's should work just fine.

When I get my inspection I say all my lights work,brakes are good and so are tires. Guy says ok get me your info and you will be on your way lol Anyway I have 10.50s on my truck and 11.50's arent that much bigger so you will be fine if you had 12.50's you would notice it.
