33's or 35's ?

Hey Guys, I have an 04 f-350 cc currently running 285 75 16's. I would like a little bigger tire, or should I say wider. I like the look of the older 250's with 33 12.5 16.5's. Truck sits just about level after haveing another leaf spring added for the plow. Just looking for recomendations for new wheels and tires to make the truck look balanced. Thanks in advance for your imput.

I hope you don't try to put 16.5 inch tires on 16 inch rims.

If you can do 35's with the added leaf spring then that's what I would do. For a tire I recommend the Toyo MT. My only reasoning to that is because that is what I run. Aggressive yet quiet on the highway. Also, I hear BFG ATs and Pro Comp makes pretty good tires.

I had 33x12.5/16.5 BFG ATAs on my 04 F250. It looked good, the width was great, but they do look too small. I wouldn't even consider the 33 on my 05 F350. That's what it basically has stock. 35s are coming for me anyhow.
