Heres 6" and 33" Kumhos on 15x10's...








And heres 6" with 285's (33's) on stock off road wheels...









In my opinion, I wouldnt run over a 33" tire with 3.55's, even if the truck had 8" of lift.

I am planning on moving to 33s also.

But they look d*mn good with 35s!!!

I always go function > Looks for my trucks though. (I'll go looks when function isn't affected).

35s aren't doing you any favors on a 3.55

Hahahah, I liked it allot too. Probably my most favorite tire/wheel combo I had on it... and I had lots of them. But I like the look of plenty of room in the wheel well.

I will add, though, that I had a set of 285 BFG A/T's on the stock saw blade 16" rims and it didn't look anywhere near as goo IMO. Mainly due to them not being the 17" off road wheels (those are just badass stock wheels), but also cause the tires were not as aggressive.
