    I can't decide between 33s an 32s I don't want the tires to stick out much atall an I'm keeping the stock rims an I have a 3 inch lift with 31s at the moment an how will my towing be effected ? Will I have to floor it up every hill an have to turn 4-5 thousand rpm to keep up speed? Cause right now I can keep it under 3 thousand the whole time I pull a bass boat probably weighs 1500 -200 pounds?

    If you want the 33's you may benefit more from gettin a 255/85, thats a skinnier 33, so you wont get much of the tire sticking out, and i wouldnt expect it to change to much on the weight.

    Play with the sizes/rpms

    The dia of the tire is what will change effective gearing. There is little to no 'stickout' by going taller as long as you select the correct width. Especially on OE wheels.

    if you have a auto your trans temps are going to be sky high when towing with that size tire and stock gears.
