the truck... Its n 87 Ext Cab Ranger.. I plan on keepin the 33s for the
everyday n off roadin/hill climbing.. I would like to have 35 or bigger
for like car shows n some local driving just to give it that HUGE LOOK...

You could probably fit 37s. I'm just wondering why you'd want the bigger tires if not for off-road purposes. You could save a lot of money and hassle by not having 2 different sets of tires depending on the purpose.

37s with some cut outs. 35s would probably work without. I'm not entirely sure of differences in wheel well size and stock suspension height of your year. But I've got a 97 with 4" lift and 33s fit near perfectly with no fender trimming.
