Default Ordered my new tires!!!

I just got done ordering my new tires. I am super excited. I ordered the Nitto Trail Grapplers 295/70-18. I have an 2005 Fx4 charcoal gray with 2 1/2 level kit. I think its going to look super bad after these new tires get put on. I will post some before and after pics once I get them on!!!

Thanks for all the advice for those who help me choose these tires. I think the size will be perfect!

I went to discount tire and got out of the door at $1400 which is more than I had planed, but got the full lifetime warrant on all the tires and they even priced match an internet price I had. Ended up getting them for $267 a piece instead of $293 which they had priced.


Cheers!

Congrats!

So do you need the level (2" to 2.5") to fit 295's?

I know 33's fits fine stock and 35's you want at least the 2", if not the 2.5" level. Just curious about the 295's.

Of course I have the stock 275's currently, which will need to be replaced this summer. So trying to determine which route I want to go. Love the look of the level, but dislike the premature wear on the front end.

I think the 295/70 will rub a bit without a level kit. They are about 34.6 x 11.6 with a 2 or 2 1/2 inch kit it they will fit very nice with no rubbing and fill the wheel well up almost fully. I have seen several 295/70 on 18's with a level and it looks real good. Without a level kit it may be a bit too big/wide.
