Tire and wheel fitment guide for 04-08
I just put 325 65 nitto terra grapplers on my 2005 fx4 with the rancho quicklift leveling kit and stock 18" rims. I just took the tape measure outside and they are about 34.5", if you were wondering. I had to do a small amount of trimming but it wasnt a big deal and was really easy to do. I am having some rubbing on the upper control arm when i turn almost all the way. (it only rubs when i try to park) I plan on buying new rims with more backspacing as soon as i can afford them. called the guys at rimz one and they said if i got a rim 9 inch wide rim, id be ok with 5.75" backspacing using +25 to+18 off set, but pushing the tire out that far might result in rubbing in the wheel well.
So I'm not sure what i want to do now, but i dont think i would recommend going with the 325's with anything less than a 3" level in the front...

and if you are confused about the whole offset/ back spacing thing, this link helped me.

04+ 4x4 SCAB and I just put on 285/70 x 17 BFG All Terrains on my stock rims. Looks great, rides better and feels like it's really stuck to the road now. No rubbing.
Unfortunately, it really enhanced how I felt the front end and now I know my ball joints are going. They'll be done this weekend along with the sway links and assorted other bushings and my new 2.5" HBS Leveling kit. I'll get pics as soon as the kit's installed this weekend. Wish me luck!

Excuse my ignorance, but I need some help, tire/wheel sizes have me confused.
I have ordered 20" wheels, there are 2 listed and I'm not sure which they ordered, I'm thinking the choice is obvious if you know what your doing, and that's what they ordered, but I have no idea. They are 20"x9.5" and either +10 offset 5.64" back space or -10 offset 4.86" back space.
I have ordered the Nitto Terra Grappler 285/55-20 as the thinking was the 305/55-20 would rub. What do you folks think?
Thanks in advance for any help.
