What do you guys think 37"s to 35's?

Anyone have 35X13.5X18 or 35X13.5X20 Tires. Just wondering what they would look like on our trucks with 6" lift. Been really contemplating on backing down from 37's to 35's but don't want to effect the looks and really want to stick to 13.5 wide. Is anyone out their riding with 35's with 6inch lift?

Thumbs up

I agree. I just have a 2.5" leveler and my Nittos are 34.25". They look great on my height truck, but with a 6" lift you will want bigger than a 35" tire. It will have that stock gap look again.

Sorry for hijacking your thread, but I would love to do a Pure Performance long arm 6" lift and not sure about tire size, how much effect on performace do the 37's have with the 3.73 gears, what about brake performance?
Thanks

I drove my truck home from the dealership and put 35's on it right away and they looked too small lol That was before the lift. 2wks later the 6in lift was on..and it just looked worse. I still think 37's dont look big enough but Im not going bigger just yet. I wouldnt go smaller, I dont think you will like it, then you will be stuck with $$ tires you hate. And we all know tires arent cheap! In the 3 yrs I have had my truck..spent over 5gs on tires alone

how about 36/15.5R20 MT Baja Claw? I think wider tires help make up for the suspension gap.
