Default Looking For Tire Advice

After having the leveling suspension installed, my factory tires size looks too small. Of course the 2" leveling struts lifted the front end closer to 3" which didn't help. I hate to give these up because the are so quiet and handle well but I want a bigger more aggressive look. I want to keep the stock wheels and was looking at running 295 60 R20 A/Ts (Toyo open country or Nitto Grapplers). Anyone have this size on their factory wheels and will they fit without issues? All recommendations are appreciated

Those struts will probably settle a bit.

what shocks are you running....other then the initial *settle* they shouldnt settle at all....id make sure they were installed correctly. Everytime i break the front suspension loose, i drive it around my property and check the torque and it never settles

That size should fit....i always ran a 275/65/20 as that gives you a taller tire and its still somewhat narrower...id recomend Falken Wildpeaks or Toyo OC AT3....wasnt a fan of ridge grapplers at all, or really any Nitto the past few years.

Thanks for the info. Im running fox 2.0 performance series coilovers. They come factory set for 2" of lift and are adjustable but have to be adjusted before installation or off the truck rather. I can live with the extra 3/4 lift in the front but the tires just look dumb now. I do alot of highway drivng so I dont want anything too noisy. My Pathfinder has Goodyear Duratracs and they roar above 55mph. I am definitley leaning toward the TOYO OC AT3. How is the noise and handling?

I had the Ford Perf Fox 2.0 on my truck and also got almost 2.75 inches out of them.

They can be adjusted on the truck, just takes a little more creativity.

I have no noise complaints on the Toyo and they handle great
