Default good ole size dilemma

Hey y'all,

So I have a 2013 FX4 3.5 v6 ecoboost. The guy before me has what I believe to be 2" spacers up front, which will be replaced with adjustable coils eventually. Right now I currently have 275/55/20 hwy on it. I want to go up in size with an more aggressive looking all terrain, avoiding MTs but I don't want to trim, obviously I don't want any rubbing, and I would like to maintain as much as mileage as possible, but who doesn't right? In an attempt to get the best of both worlds, I was thinking of avoiding 35s and sticking with the 33s, according to my calcuations if correct mine are currently 32s? I am worried that just jumping up to 33s wont give me the look I'm after though and ill be disappointed.

Yes, you have 32s. Look at other pics of people with 33s and see if you like it. Otherwise go up.

275 * 0.55 * 2 / 25.4 + 20 = 31.9 ~ 32
width * aspect ratio * 2 / 25.4 + rim size = overall diameter

I am running 285/65R20 KO2s. They are 34.6". Unfortunately they also weigh 62 lbs. each. It is really going to depend on what is more important.

What about 34's? I've heard of a TON of people running a 275/65/20 and not rubbing at all. Your speedo will be off by almost 5mph on the highway though, but you can spend $200 and get a programmer if you want. I HIGHLY suggest you look at the BFGoodrich T/A KO2's.
