Added Nitto Ridge Grapplers 295/70/18167B416E-30B9-40E2-9F59-32866321AA2F.thumb.jpeg.2ed97d6ba0f40465eaf427e5e1ed89fa.jpeg

Like this set up and looking to get these Nitto's, any level or trimming needed to get these in without having any rub?

Honest I wouldn't worry too much about the weight.  I'm running MT Baja MTZs that weight 69 lbs each along with rims that weigh 38 lbs each and my truck still launches with no issue.  I have not really noticed any loss of acceleration quickness

What size MTZ's and do they handle well in the snow. Any rub, or mods to get them to fit?

305/55R20.  You have to do the mudflap bracket removal mod.  No rub after the mod.  I live in Michigan and they are excellent in snow.  They wear really good and have a long tread life

No rubbing what so ever ... I added a 1 1/2” leveling kit after

I removed the mudflap bracket, crazy the clearance it added. Going to get either the BFG KO2's at 305 65 18 or the Nitto ridge 295 70 18. Cost about the same. Trying to decide, but if the BFG's don't fit then Nitto it is. I do not want to level or add spacers. Thanks to all for the input.

No problem.  Glad it worked out

I put my new wheels/tires on today. 20x10 -18 Fuel Vandals w/ 33x12.50 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. The wheels slightly brushed the front brake calipers, so I had to add 1/4” spacers. So now, it’s at about a -24 mm offset. There’s only a slight rub at full lock on the back of the wheel well. It’s a Trail Boss with the 2” stock lift. I’ve also added a 1.5” MotoFab under strut leveling kit.

Looks great, have you done the bracket mod?  That will resolve your rubbing at full lock.  Remove the mudflap, there is a small bracket that provides support for it, remove that and re-Install mudflap, this will push mud flap back enough and should eliminate the rub.

My friend just put 35x12.50R18 BFG KO2 (34.50x12.50R20) tires on her stock 18” wheels with no lift or leveling kit yet with very little to no tire rub.

What exactly did you push back? I reinstalled and pushed back some but it comes back to almost exactly the same place?

New guy here! Switching from Toyota...no hating!

 

Has anyone put the 295/70/18 in the spare tire slot? Did it fit ok?

 

Upgrading before I buy my truck and trying to determine if I should buy 5 tires. I always heard it is not good to run a smaller spare on a 4x4
