Default Purchasing New Wheels

Hey guys, I just bought new wheels to me from theblack2011fx4. They are Gear Recoils 17x9 +25mm offset.



I was thinking of getting some BFG KO ATs. I have some 33s priced out with new TPMS and a warranty for a new tire(s) if anything happens to them. They were priced at $1800. I can get some 34s for around 1900. I have a level on my truck so the guys I priced through (Discount Tire) said they won't rub. Any thoughts on maybe getting a smaller tire and save some cash? I do mostly city and some off road stuff. Maybe go for another tire brand, but I have a friend with some bfgs that have been really good to him. Thoughts/opinions? Thanks!

Im almost positive they wont rub, worst case if they did it would be very minimal plastic trimming. I have 285/75/18 toyo at 2's which are a 34.8" but narrow, I think only 11.3" wide. If I could buy my tires again I would've went a little smaller and gone wider. Im not a fan of skinnys but its all personal preference. Either way, you wouldn't be able to tell much difference between a 33 and 34 just by looks. Those prices sound kind of high to me for a 33" tire though.
