research research research...still cant find what im looking for! advice plz
Im about to pull the trigger on a set of new wheels and tires for my 10 screw. Im going with the moto metal 959 20x9s but i cannot for the life of me decide for sure which tire i want.
I researched til my head hurts and still cannot decide!
My choices ive narrowed it down too are either a 275/55/20 terra grappler or a 285/55/20 toyo at2. Keep in mind i will have stampede fender flares on with the bolts so im trying to find pictures of the right stance with this setup. I dont want the tires sticking out past the flares which im not worried about with this setup. Im more worried about the tires not looking "beefy" enough to match the flares. Kind of like the way stock tires look with big aftermarket fender flares..
I know the 285/55/20 should look good but im really leaning against these because of the extra weight! 15 pounds heavier per tire is a lot and the weight rating on the 275s are about all i need as far as towing and all.
The only thing that has me questioning the 275/55/20 is will it be too small with the look of the flares? and will the tire look stretched on a 20x9 inch rim????
Any advice and pictures would help a bunch!

Nittos last a LOT longer that Toyo's generally speaking, and they're also a lot quieter.
YOU need to decide which one(s) you want, as it's YOUR truck. YOU'VE gotta live with it.
The Toyo's are only 10mm wider, and their height is only 5.5mm taller(the profile is the percentage of the width). You gotta divide 5.5 divided by 2 to tell you how much higher the tires will make your truck~2.75mm. An inch is 25.4mm, so if you will be able to even notice your truck being 2.75mm taller, or 5.5mm(2.75mm on each side) difference in your wheel wells, you sir, should be a Neurosurgeon.
Know what I'm sayin...?

Out of those 2 choices I would go with the Toyo A/T II, best lookin all terrian tire on the market in my opinion and the look "beefier" than the terra grapplers.

haha thanks guys im really leaning towards the nittos right now main reason being the 275/55/20 in the nitto has a 400 lbs higher load capacity than my stockers. the toyos actually have less than my stock goodyears right now so i definitely dont wana lower my capacity for towing. i do like the looks of the toyo a little better than the nittos but the functionality is winning here and ive pretty much ruled out going to the lt 285 as i dont wana add 15lbs to each corner! i just hope the tires dont look too small with the cocky fender flares hanging on the side.
