i have read a ton about 33's vs 35's and i am worried that my 3.73's (jku with a manual ) will struggle with 35's ...that is the main reason for 33's.....i really dig the look of the mud grappler and from what i have read they do well at hidden falls and in big bend with all the sharp rocks which is where i will be alot. But i am more than open to listen to anyone's experience as to why 35's are smarter, especially since tires are a big expense. i will be mounting them on d558 fuel anza's in a 17x8.5 with 4.5 backspacing.

Being that you have a 2015 and a manual you would be fine on 35's with the 3.73 gearing. It will feel underpowered compared to stock but that's ok.

Once you put a lift on (either leveling kit like Evo or a 2.5" bb) with the 33's your really gonna wish you went 35's. Also just wheeling with them your gonna wish you had 35's. I know I felt that way. I went from the stock 225's up to 32's on my sport. Within 6k miles I sold the 32's and got 35's.

I do as people with the Evo leveling kit clear 35's as long as they trim there fenders. Heck you can clear 35's stock with trimmed fenders and if you get the right size bump stops. Go look at strizzychris's build thread (scorpion build) and you will see he ran 35's on stock suspension for almost 2 years I believe, if not just over a year.

If your on the app sometimes pics are weird especially in older threads. Try hoping on the computer instead.
