You should consider 31s since you're keeping it a daily driver. If you run 33s your gas mileage will go down considerably (like from 18mpg down to 8 or 9) unless you regear your axles. You can run 31s on stock gears without killing your gas mileage. You HAVE TO regear to run 35s or you'll kill your tranny, clutch, and diff.
Hope this helps
