looking into the nitto terra graplers. have 265's now, wanted to go a little taller but want to make sure they will fit before i order them. sits at stock level now. Actually the front might sit a hair lower than stock because of the heavy front bumper i have on it.
I ran 305/70/16 Coopers, then same size Nitto TG on the stock 99 potato chip chrome wheels. Never rubbed anywhere, came close to the mud flaps and lower control arm when turned to lock, but never hit. I eventually installed 2" leveling kit, not for tire clearance but just to level the front a bit. Og I'm running an 8" wide wheel now and there's still no contact.
Hey, check out the Nitto ...
No problem with the 285's on the ground on my '01. Had a problem putting one in the spare rack - - - had to put 2 - 18" 2 x 4's between the frame and the spare tire, and it was real close to the rear end.

Of course tire wear is mainly related to conditions, driving style, proper inflation, balance, and etc., etc., @ 20k they are wearing beautifully, very even and consistent - one of the reason this is the second time I purchased Nittos for my truck and more than likely will continue to when...

My '01 was stock, the trailer hitch was the big problem.
