Anyone running these tires

325/60/18? or 285/65/18?

Im worried that the 325 will be to wide and the 285 too thin....If your running either please chime in and let me know what you think of them?
Theres no size in between those that equates to a 33 that i know of or that i can find at least

Thats what im trying to do now is see what will fit my truck. Im running an 18x8.5 rim and want to put 33's under there, but i dont want a tire that looks to skinny. Does anyone have pics of there 285/65/18's???

I was fittinig 305/45/22 with very minor trimming and those were 32.8 tall by 12 wide.

285/65/18 are 32.6 tall by 11.2 which seems to small

and 325/60/18 are 33.4tall by 12.8 wide

if i could find something in between it would be great or if the 325's fit it would be perfect.
