Default 35" tires on an 8" lift?

Can anyone help me out with a picture of a truck (preferably a dodge) with an 8" lift, on 35's? I've searched the internet high and low, to no avail... I'm running 37's on mine right now, but 35's are a little cheaper, and I was interested to know if they would even look decent.... I don;t like how mine look with 17 inch rims. Too much tire for my liking.

thanks in advance.

i think 35's will be way to small...it will leave a big gap in the fender well

SAY NO TO 35'S! Would look way too Small! If you are going to a smaller tire for other reasons then at the very least go with a 36" tire!

Me personally, i wouldnt go down to 35's...

Im riding 35s now on a 6in susp. Goin up another 3in on a bodylift, and am gonna feel like a needle dick running 35's on 9 inches of lift for about 6 months until i can gear up and get new rims and tires.

You go to any bigger than a 35", be ready to change some of your drive line out.
