I cant decide what to get. I was thinking 33's. I have no lift so they might rub until i an afford a lift. So i thought that i should go with 32's. My dad said 31's but i think that will still be too small. I am running a 235/75r15 that is about a 28.9inch tire. what do you guys think, is the rub worth it???

it also depends on how aggressive the tread is. if you just getting street tires or all terrains then go 33 but if your gonna put on thornbirds or super swamps then id stay with the 31in.

Also have to watch the wheel size and back spacing. I have 32 x 11.50 on the stock wheels and they rub at full lock. Yet my 33 x 12.50 on 15 x 10 ARE wheels have no rub at all.

I am going with a 2.5" lift just for the extra clearance while on the beach and for a better look of couse.

I am going to go with the pro comp mud terrain or the BFG mud terrain so is it okay if i go to a 33 or should i stay with the 32??? Can I use my stock rims. Im not sure what size they are. Maybe 15x7 or 15x6.

i ran 33/12.5 stock. looks ok but i would not recomend mud tires unless you plan on useing them. all all terrains have much better road manners. 33" tires put some added stress on driveline. they are also harder to turn so you will lose some power unless you go with lower gears i personally run 35/12.5 general mt on a 15/10 wheel and run 4:10 gears, it seems to be a pretty good combo
