Bilstein 5100 and tire size

Ok so after reading a lot on here I'm deciding to go with the Bilstein 5100's to level my 10' 1500. My current tire size is a 265 60r 20. After doing the math that comes out to approximately a 33' tire. After reading description on different sites that sell the Bilsteins the say you can fit up to a 33 inch tire? Is this correct since my stock tire is already a 33' or will I be able to fit 35's? I'm not looking to do a extremely wide tire. I have narrowed it down to getting bf Goodrich a/t or good year duratrac. And thoughts or ideas about this would be appreciated. Also if anyone has pictures that would be able to help me decide on the look I want that would also be great! Thanks in advance.

Search feature is your friend on this one. Simply put, too much data missing to give a proerp recommendation.

Assuem you will be using bilstein 5100 series shock but at what height will they be set? This will greatly determine maximum tire size that can fit inside the wheel well,. GOing Wide with the tires? On sstock rims? If aftermarket, what offset are you thinking. Rim offset will determine how much of that tire sits outside the truck body adn how much sits inside teh wheel well.

While a wide tire is great on mud and sand,, not so much on snow.

35" tires is definitely doable. 12.5 width tires too. but, as mentioned, hwo high wil teh bilsteins be set and what offset on teh rims you plan to mount the tires on.

I'm more looking for snow. And it depends I want to be level not nose high. I'm yet to install them and as far as the offset I'm not sure I don't want the tire sticking out to much
