Help with tire size

[Jedeka]

I’m working on my 74. Going with 2-1/2” suspension, 1” body lift, 2000 Explorer 5.0, M5ODM2 transmission (.80 overdrive) and 4.56 gears. This will mainly be used for a fun and cruising. The roads around here are mostly flat, but has occasional river hills to go up and down. Will this setup handle a 35” tire or am I better off with 33”? Thanks.

well 35s (entered as 34") with .8 and 2400 rpm with 4.56 is 66mph. 33s would be like 63mph or something. I say go 35s. Some really like 4.88s with their OD in the .7x range
