Default New tires?

I am thinking about getting some new tires for my ram. I am stuck between 33's and 35's. Can anyone post a picture of their truck with 33's or 35's. Also if I do get a lift will the 33's look too small?

You think that small of a difference is "that" noticeable at 20ft?

Just suck it up and get the 35s because the trucks with stock 20s came with stock 32s. So 33s isnt much of a change

Heres one with a 6" lift on 35's, if you go with 35's (depending on the gears you have now) you might have to get 3.92's or even 4.10's

Honestly you dont have to have a 6" lift to fit 35's, I have had a couple buddies that had the 05 and 06 and put 35" Toyo MT's with a leveling kit. They had to shave a little on the wheel well but thats if you didnt want to have the 6" lift. Personally I would go with the 6" lift with 35's and regear to 4:10's

Definitely, 33s won't look bad on a non lifted rig. I've seen trucks with lift and 33s and they don't look bad as well.
