New tires and fender flares!

i have bushwacker pocket style fender flares and i am wanting to get some new tires i want nitto trail grapplers i was thinking 295s but my concern is they will be too small and look goofy with the fender flares? the other choice is to get the 35s but then will i have to get a bigger rim? i have stock 18 in rims. Thanks!

I have 35" trail grapplers with almost 5000 miles on them. They still look brand new. Barely worn at all.

Definitely floats more than stock. However, I installed a leveling kit and Bilstien shocks at the same time as the new rims/tires, so I am not sure which change affected the floating. It isn't horrible though, plus it looks awesome!

My 35" nitto trail grappler look brand new after 10-15k. Also my boss bought some 37's at the same time. And his still have the frills after 5k. I had some 33" toyo open countrys before the nittos. Those wore down bald in the centers no matter what i did.
