Default 35/12.50 km2 on 6.5 lift

In a debate whether or not to keep my 32.11.50 or go with a bigger tire which is the 35.12.50 km2's... I love my current 32's for the simple fact of not rubbing To much on a complete flex but kinda dont know which direction to go.. Any help or advice is great.thanks

Well bfgs arnt a true 35 there 34 in my gfs brother has them on his ram.
For that fact alone I want the mtrs. Also you won't rub is you bump stop coreectly

Also if you love your 32s why change?

trim and bumpstop and they will fit without issue. 32s are tiny for that lift. 35s even fit nicely with significantly less lift.

True but that means a regear. Making sure his axles can take it and so on.

And fenders are cut with flat style flare.. Just worried about not having enough room in the front to flex as my 32's rub sometimes in a hard bind..and come across the tires on good deal
