Default wheels and tires on 3'' lift 1997

i need to figure out what size wheels and tires i need to get for my 97. it has a 3'' lift and the tires on there now look small. i see people with 35'' and i think it looks great what size wheels do i need for that "meaty" look. thanks

i have 35-12.50, 17's on mine with a -12 offset...you can look on my profile... i am kinda diffrent bc i dont really like 24s and little tires but its all about prefrence and what you do with your truck...the bigger wheel the better chance of messing them up if you dont have big tires.... i have curbchecked my fair share and they look brand new thanks to the kumhos...

Are you 2wd or 4x4? How much are you willing to trim?

The 4x4 are a little taller (stock) than the 2wd, but on both you will still need to trim a little off your front valence to get it to work. If you're willing to trim, you can stuff the 35's in there.
