Poll- 33's or 35's?

[Ghosts40]

So I have a Sport, 1.5 Tereflex front level. New 17x9 wheels. 4.53 backset. -12mm offset. Want to buy tires this week and read a lot of different things. Are 35x12.5 17 pushing it with the 3:73 gears etc? Looking for best option so I'm torn between 315/70/17. 33x12.5 17. 35x12.5 17. Looking for the experience of others to help with this so I don't regret my pick. Appreciate anyone's opinion!

You live in Ohio which is largely flat. If you stay in the flats you will be fine on 35 and 3.73 but it will impact your top end gear selection, call it a 6.5 speed. If you get out into the hills east of you you will be wanting a gear swap or 33s.

Also if you tow, don't do it on 3.73/35

Diesel or gasser?

Why don’t you post a poll in your thread titled, “poll?”

Confusing because I had originally plan ed on 33's and I've seen and heard people say I would regret not going 35's. But I also don't want to push the limits of the vehicle.?

Sorry, newer to the forum and still learning the navigation.

33s

With 373’s, I would do no more than 33”.

The 315/70/17 are kinda in between the 33 and 35s. That’s what I have on mine.

35s. Youll regret the 33s.

Even if you’re not as peppy, 35s look really good.

Once they are aired and mounted. They will more than likely measure in at 33.5.

Like my General Grabber ATX, and 17x9 set up.
I have the stock 3.73' gear set (Ecodiesel), Terraflex 1.5 level,, and the truck pulls the same as it did with the stock 275/55-20'

I had 3.73 gears in my JK with 35s. It was a dog but that was a manual. I say stay with 33s or gear up to 4.56 and get 35’s Too bad you’re so far away, I have a set of Mojave takeoffs I’m trying to sell.

Here’s two other sizes that are pretty popular.

I thought about bumping up to 315/70-17 BFG Territory because they are fairly light. But after seeing that size it isn't a drastic difference from my 285/70-17.
