What’s bigger

[Bee7_ivan]

Hello everyone
After I choose between the ready lift 3.5 and the Rough country 3.5 I’m definitely going to need new shoes.
what would sit taller though?
22s on 35s mud tires
Or
24s on 33s mud tires

Seriously?! 35" is taller than 33"

I used the tire sizes you gave and kept them both 12.50 to compare them on this website link below. Seems the 35's will sit taller. Now if you play with the side wall height it can change the overall height. I am no expert, so if any errors in my thought process, hopefully someone will provide better data.

A 35" tire will always be taller than a 33" tire no matter what you do to sidewall height. Some 35" or 33" tires are bigger than others, but nothing drastic enough to make a 33 taller than a 35.

The 35 & 33 size is tire diameter...35 > 33 always.

When you are comparing metric sizes, it varies...
305-55 > 305-50
275-55 = 305-50

Appreciate the updates....here is one which makes it taller but I really don't know how to explain it the correct way--help guys!!!

I’m sorry you guys now that I know 33s and 35s were measured by height I feel stupid. Is there any such thing as a 34?

No worries. We do have some smart alecs here. Myself included

The point being made is the wheel size has nothing to do with how tall your tire is.

You can get the same size tire for each wheel size, the obvious change is sidewall height.

An 18 19 20 22 24 wheel can all have 35 or 33 inch tires...and yes there are 34s.

So, you have 2 decisions...20 or 24 inch wheel then 33 or 35 inch tire.

If you want 34 inch that is fine too.

Alot of times you can just pick 34 inch...but the metric sizes you have to understand the correlation between the section width and sidewall height...but I see you can use the calculator...so that will give you your answer.

Shoot now more research shall be done to see if 24x12s on 34s can be done on a 3.5 lift

Everyone thanks a lot !!!

That image is comparing 35" to 305 (metric)
35 = diameter (or height)
305 = width

35x12.5 is very straight forward 35" diameter by 12.5" wide.

Metric is more complicated...
305-55

(This may not be technically correct, but it is logically accurate)
305 is the width and 55 is the comparison of sidewall to tread face. As the second # gets bigger, the taller the tire (as long as the first # is static).

55 means that 55% of the surface rubber (imagine a string running from bead to bead...up the sidewall, across the tread, down the sidewall) makes up the sidewall and 45% makes the tread.

35 would be a very short sidewall...35% of the rubber is sidewall and 65% is tread width

This image compares 305 55 to 305 35 showing a 61mm difference in sidewall height.

Offset of the wheel will play a big factor in your decision as well. Good luck with your decision and post pics when completed.
