Need some help on tires please - 2013 FX4
Alright, so my dealership is ordering my new tires on Monday so I thought I'd come post here for the first time in search of an answer.
I'll just give you the details, and hopefully someone can answer definitively.
I have a 2013 FX4. I want Nitto Terra Grapplers. I want to get 295/65/20 sizing with a 2" or 2.5" leveling kit. My questions are...
Will this fit?
Will I need to cut fenders to reduce rubbing?
Would it be better to do 285/65/20 or 295/60/20? (If the 295/65 really is impossible).
Is there anything I can do to avoid problems with this setup, or am I okay with what I chose?
And lastly what will I need to do in terms of adjusting speedometer, alignment, and all that stuff?
Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. And sorry if this is in the wrong section.

I'd go with a 2.5" level if you're going with 295/65's, most likely will need bigger blocks in the rear too.
295/60's will fit w/ 2" level, may or may not need bigger blocks?? I didn't.

Okay, thanks man. So if I got a 2.5" level I could fit the 295/65, but what size block would I need (assuming you're referring to the rear)?
Also, did you have to trim the plastic valance to avoid rubbing? I thought I saw you also had 295/65. Thanks again dude.

I have a 2" AS w/ 295/60's, no trimming or rubbing. I had 2.5" of rake (stock) still have .5". I didn't want it perfectly level, just wanted to get rid of most of the stock rake.

To get the right size blocks you'll have to take measurements to figure how much rake you are starting out with.

Thanks for the reply. You're gonna have to bear with me a bit, I am coming from a series of 350 and 370z's. Recently moved to the truck life so I'm a bit unfamiliar. Rake is the difference between front and back?
Also if I go with a 2.5" front level, what brand should I get? And for a rear block is it just one piece? And a 3" block is 1.5" higher than stock?
Sorry for all the questions, I'm just trying to learn and it's getting down to crunch time with ordering tomorrow. The truck is already in the shop getting Line-x and a soft cover. Tires and level are the last thing.
Last question is would I have to trim the plastic do you think? I'm not sure what that involves.
Thanks again.
