Your truck is sweet, do the 295s fit with no rubbing

Thanks man! They rubbed due to my -12 offset but I've heard they fit fine with similar to stock offset. I had to trim front and back on the plastic in the wheel well, but i love having my tires stick out 2" past the truck.

Full lock(ish):




The only issue i ran into was that i rub this piece still if i reverse(only reverse for some reason) at half lock. So i just swing wide and go full lock on my backing up to deal with it.

you will see ALOT of trucks with the NITTO Trail Grapplers. I have had numerous mud tires over my vehicle history; Goodyear MT-R's, BFG mud terrain, Maxxis Mudders, and have NOT been happy as as I am now with the NITTO Trail Grapplers. They are great for the money! I got 35's on my 08 FX4 Screw and they are the best I've had yet.

EL Dorado MTZ Sport you won't find a better tire for the price. They grab extremely well in the mud and throw some major roost and are decent in snow/rain. http://www.eldoradotire.com/tires/De...ication=SUV-LT

I have retreaded tires that I purchased from treadwright. I ran a set of 33s on my old truck and was extremely pleased. I have 35s on my f150 and they do well in the mud and snow. For the price you can't beat them and I've never heard anything but positive about the company. Only downfall is depending on what tire size you may have to wait 4-6 weeks for your tires (which is what they told me) but they arrived in 8 days =)

i got studded duratecs , 315/70/17s on stock wheels 17x7.5 with a little sway bar rubbing at full lock. excellent on deep snow/ice so far while brand new.
cost 1840 cdn with studs, balancing, mounting, nitrogen, taxes included. not bad for almost 35" tires on stock wheels

As much as I hate to say it...check out the Firestone Destination AT and MT's. Good reviews and low prices.

I have these in 265/70R16. They're holding up well and look good. I went through two sets of BFG A/T pretty quickly and decided to try these instead.
