You got a lift? I would stick with 33's . They wouldn;t stand out too much

if you have a big enough lift you can run 35s without any other mods.

33 won't bring you too much attention, unwanted lift costs, and will give more clearanceand fun ability

I only have a 2inch lift. so running 35's wont put to much strain on the motor, drive train etc

33"s with a 2" lift

I'd stick to 33s mate, specially with a 2 in lift as others have said

Stick to 33's as 35's on a non turbo 4.2 will be a slug and 35's effect the gearing to much and braking issue's as well. But all these issue's can be fixed if you have the $$$$ to do so.

yeah at the moment i got 31.10.5.15 Cooper STT but they came with the car so i dont know their full potential. anyone know roughly how much a set of MTZ or Coopers in 33's will set me back, ill have to get bigger rims for them to fit, ill probably just get bigger sunraysias.

I believe if you go 33 10.5 15 they wil fit the same rims. But if you go 33 10.5 16 then you will have troubles with scrubbing and will need 16" sunnies.

You'll be looking at over 2k if you go for 5 of 33x12.5x15 because you will need new rims too. Going to 16's will set you back more still........ As a comparison for you a few weeks ago I got a new set of 5, 33x12.5x15 mickey Thompson ATZ and paid just under 2k, if I went for 16s they would have cost br just under 2200. Oh and the price includes the steel rims

I got four 33x12.5 Cooper stt's AND four new black dynamica steel rims (equivalent to sunrasias) for $1600 fitted, balanced etc. Good price.

Yeah that was a bit of a surprise to learn. That's why you never see them both for sale in the same shop., they don't want to compete against each other
