I would do taller inner tubs before I'd run 255/35's though. Short sidewalls just don't work as well visually on these trucks in my honest opinion.....

Scoti - do you have more info on that wheel set up - I agree I'm not a fan of the thin sidewalls on our trucks - probably looks even more off on a stepside. Are the rims Torque Thursts in Grey? I've been looking at the same ones or possibly the dark chrome.
