After installing the OME deluxe kit from slee, what size tires should i go with on 18 inch rims?

Is this a trick question? What size tire do you want to run?

IMHO a 33" looks about right with out loosing too much gearing. You may have some choices depending on th type of tire you go with.

I have 33's on 18's (Revo's) and they work well.

Id like to go 33's or maybe larger, dont want to loose to much performance. just seeing what people recomend.

33"s are also nice because they are typically easier to find if you need one in the middle of nowhere than anything much larger.

go with the 33s. If I had 18s I would probably get 285/65R18 tires.
