35s vs 38s?

[clownracer]

been lurking on fullsizechevy(good 454 knowledge base) and i noticed a lot of there obs guys are running 37s and 38s i think it looks great how much additional wear and tear am i going to see with the bigger tires? will my performance suffer? would they be better for off roading or is it just a looks thing?

just depends. if you are trying to stuff them on just a 6" with very cranked angles with a 10 bolt, you'll be wearing through suspension parts quick. if you do 6+3 on decent angles, have good parts and a good running vehicle with a 14 bolt and proper gears, you'll be just fine.

you need to give us more info.

what vehicle do you have? what are you going for? offroading? looks?

hard to tell you how much your performance will suffer if you don't even tell us what vehicle you have. but if its just specifically tires, it can be "fixed" by regearing your axles.

time to start going out and reading more.
