Default 10.5 vs 12.5

ok so i got 33s on my truck right now..... im tryin hard to get an affordable 3 inch lift, kinda have figured out what i would get lift wise. what im wondering is this: i wanna stay at 33s simply because i wont be able to afford to regear and i dont wanna do 35s/3.55/auto trans....... ive decided my current 33x10.5 would look too small on a three inch lift but do yall think 12.5 inch tires would help that significantly? or would they still look small? pics of 33x12.5 on a three inch would be helpful as well. thanx guys.

I had 33X12.50 15's on 15x10 inch wheels. A three inch spacer kit and I though the tires looked too small. Now with 35's and massaged fenders, I am glad I bought 4.56 gears because I want to try 37's. I have not gotten the gears instlled yet, busy schedule, but driving with 35's and 3.55's flat out sucks. Over drive is pointless no matter what speed. I have to turn it off or i hear the tranny making all kinda adjusments. I may see them as being small because I have black fender flares on a white truck making the wheel wells look bigger,and my truck is extended cab making it look bigger.
