Ive got the AC 3" susp. lift and the 3" body lift. I cant decide on my tires though. I want the BFG AT/KO's but i cant decide on either the 32x11.50 the 33x10.50 or the 33x12.50.

I think the 32's would look kinda small and i cant tell if the 33x12.50's would be too wide and look bad. Im really thinking about getting the 33x12.50's but i dont wont them to stick too far out. I dont go offroading in the deep mud and ive heard that a smaller width if better for offroading so i can tell. Any help would be greatly appreciated and pictures would be awesome!

Thanx!
Brett

Are you going to use your stock wheels? If so you won't have any trouble with the 33 X 10.5". The 12.5" will rub in the front fenderwell.

A 12.50" wide would really require a wider rim. If you go wider, you'll have trouble finding a rim with the correct offset, so they will stick out no matter what you do.

The 33x10.50 will fit the stock rim and fit nicely.

Is this really a 2WD ?

I am going to be getting new rims anyway. I dont mind if the 33x12.50 sticks out some but i dont want it to stick out like a foot.
