Just like the topic says I just put on my 3' body lift and I now i need some tires. I was thinking about going with the 32x11.50x15 BFG ALL.T. And i can always do a TT if i need to. But what does everybody think would look the best. I think that the 33s would be to large. But anyways what u think?

I gotta get some ALL T cause its a daily driver. and the BFG are the most aggressive tire i have seen.

if you want 33s and wont mind trimming get them, they will look better..... and what always happens is someone is worried, gets the smaller size, and for the next 40k miles whines about how they wish they got the bigger size......

^^What Jim said

You could do a TT(like you said) and add some shackles and then you'll have 5" of lift right there. I have seen that setup in person(JasonB) and it looks awesome. You'll be able to fit 33s with a little bit of trimming.

Where in ATL are you?

With bigger tires your engine/trans will be lugging around. You may also want to think about regearing.

pics?

I hope you only did a 3" BL. ;)

Well if i go 33s should i do 10.50s or cause i think the 12.50s stick out to far. And i really don't want to trim. Maybe you guys have some pics. or whats you thoughts on the size

I went with the 33x10.5 with 5" lift and still had to trim the fenders back about an inch and a half. On the street I had almost no rub, but offroad...........

They are a bit on the skinny side though......but they still are mostly under the fenders.

These pics should give you an idea of what trimming you will be looking at.

I have 33's with 5 inches of lift and I rub pretty bad, even after I trimmed.

Draw a line from the first bolt holding the bottom of the fender on (from the rear). Follow it up at an angle until it gradually meets the natural line of the fender. Then cut all of the sheet metal past that line toward the tire. That way, when you realize you want 35's, you'll be ready.

That is basicly the idea we followed however we made cuts in the fender at the top and bottom then straightened the factory bend and bent on our taped off line. I believe I added pictures of the whole process on page 3 of my registry (linked in my sig)

I have just barely 4 1/2" of lift running 33/12.50r15 and I didnt have to trim any visible sheetmetal. I trimmed on the inside of the wheel well and a lil bit of the running board but you cant see anything when looking at it from the side. I guess I got lucky.

37/12.5/17's is what you want!
