Default Nitto ridge grappler size

I have a 2015 platinum 6.5 bed that I am looking at getting some ridge grapplers for. Would it be better to get the 295/60/20 or 35/11.5/20. I think the truck has either a 1.5" or 2" spacer on it. I am planing on getting some 20x9 +1 fuel Mavericks also. The 295s are shorter but heavier. The 35 is 1" taller but 3lbs lighter. Would I see any performance or mpg difference between the 2?
Thanks

35x11.50R20(11.42" wide) - and 295/60R20 (11.77" wide) depending on your new wheel offset, that additional .35" can be the difference between rubbing and not rubbing.

New wheel offset is +1. I believe both sizes have been done. May need to spread crash bars a little.

I have the 295/60/20 Ridge Grapplers and 20" Fuel Mavericks with a 4" BDS lift. Supposedly the speedo was corrected and the digital HUD says i'm averaging around 13mpg. Best i do on the highway is around 16mpg.

verify with a gps app like waze to see if your speedo is corrected. 3.5 or 2.7, wheel specs? Truck looks great if that makes you feel better about the mpg lol.

I had the dealer do everything, but told them that I wanted 20 x 12 wheels. I'll try the GPS today and see how they compare. Thanks for the tip.

It has the 3.5 ECO. I had the dealer do everything, but told them that I wanted 20 x 12 wheels. I'll try the GPS today and see how they compare. Thanks for the tip.

What made you go with the 295/60/20 over the 35/11.5 20?

I didn't want to do any cutting and asked a shop guy what size tire he recommended for a 4" lift. He told me that 295/60/20 would be perfect and that 35's would rub if i didn't do some trimming. I have read that many people are doing 35's with a 2 or 3" level, and it looks really good, but most if not all of them had to do some cutting of the crash bars, etc.

Do you think the 275/6520 in the ridge grapplers would look to narrow?
