    Getting 35" tires what width??

    I just sold my 33/12.50/18s Dident think they took alot of power away from the truck untill I put the stock 265s on. Night and day differnce. Getting 35" tires on 20s this spring not sure how wide tire i should get. like the look of the 12.50s but thinking they will dogg the truck down bad, Will there be mutch differnce in 11.50s, and 12.50s???

    i have 35x1150s on my truck and didnt noticed a whole lot of difference unloaded. I do noticed the tires when pulling a trailer with stock gearing. Unloaded with stock gearing im very pleased. I have the nitto terra grapplers

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference

    Trail grapplers are great tires. Had over 30k on mine and still had over half tread.

    What width rims? That will be the determining factor.

    12.5 on a 7'' wide rim will balloon up a bit in the middle. 10.5-11.5 on a 7'' wide rim, 12.5-13.5 on a 8'' wide rim.

    I'm sure going 12.5 over a 11.5 wide you won't notice any difference. Time for gears.

    I'm sure someone will argue but we aren't in Cali and don't need 16'' wide rims

    You're correct... Hoss' only come in a 20x9 for the 6x5.5 bolt pattern. IIRC, you have the Zone lift on your truck. If you're wanting 35s, I would run the 295/60/20 or 295/65/20 Trail Grapplers and step up to 4.56 gears.
