What Size Tires?

I'm putting a 6" lift on my 2500HD 4x4 with 6.0 and 4:10's. What size tires would work best with this combo? I would like to get some larger off road tires.

 

I'm tired (no pun intended) of the stock 245/16 tires.

I personally like the look of 35in tires on 20in rims on a hd lifted 6in, saw a pic of one with 285 65 20 that was nice, I have seen 37 with some front fender trimming butt they looked too big imo.

How would the 4:10 do?

4.10 gears with 35s is fine, of course you are going to lose a little bit of your initial acceleration but it will not be a strain on the engine.

is it 07 classic or NNBS???? if its a classic i would go with 35x13.5 with a decent backspace rim you wont rub. 35's on NNBS will probly rub, you will have to some trimming...OR you could make it super sweet (if its classic style) and do some fender cut outs and run 37x13.5's...i got a buddy that did this with a 6 inch lift it looks BEAUTY. the newer style body you are pretty much limited to a 35" tire on a 6" lift dude...unless you can put up with rubbing...

Yeah, it's an '07 Classic. I'd like to keep the 4.10's (budget reasons), but still have some nice performance and mileage.

 

Any places online for good wheel/tire deals?

Do the 35s in any wheel size will look good and I will choose the wheel size off on how its going to be driven most of the time. Like highway i would do 20s but more off roading than a 17 will look good. I have 17 on my 35s. The 4:10 will work good together with the 35s. I would not do bigger tires than 35 unless you are goin with 4:56 or 4:88 gears.

I was thinking 35x12.50-18
