Default 33" or 35" Tires

All,
I am new to all this so sorry if I ask stupid questions but I seem to getting stupid answers from the people I talk to.
I have just got a CST 4" spindle lift for my 2007 Big Horn and I am trying to buy tires some say I can only fit 33" and some ask why I would even go to 35"?
Can some one tell me if 35" fit and how they will look maybe a few pictures.
Any help would be great.

yes 35's will fit with just a level kit so you are good to go. make sure you get backspaced rims or wheel spacers as 35's are too wide without.
check the faqs at the top of the 3rd gen page all the info youll ever need.
and tell your friends not to give you advice if they dont know what they are talking about.

lmao yes but anything wider that 10.50" wont fit correctly and ive never seen a 35x10.50. and if im wrong i will retract my previous statement.... i guess i shouldnt have assumed that the 35" tall tire would be the normal 12.50" wide....
my bad.

Thank you for the info I thought they would but CST said to use 33" so that was why everyone said to use 33". I am looking for new rims also just can not make up my mind.

i would suggest 4.5" backspacing on the rims if you plan to get a 12.50" wide tire.

Yeah, the smallest width on a 35" tire I've ever seen is 12.5" so you'll need wheel spacers if you're going to keep your stock rims, and 4.5 inch backspacing if you get aftermarket rims.

Would anyone have any pictures of a 4" lift and 35" I do not see many Rams lifted in my area?

That is a 4" with 35" that is what I was hoping to have my truck look like if it is only in black.
