Just had the ridge grapplers installed a few days ago and so far I'm very impressed. I previously had trail grappler 295 55 20s and the difference is huge. The ride is better than any tire I've ever had it's like your riding on air. The 11.50 width is perfect, I have an RC 2.5 level kit on the front and there is no rubbing even at full lock. Some might think they are too skinny but I think they are perfect.
In my opinion they ride smoother and are more quiet than Terra G2's and definitely when compared to Trails. I have had a chance to drive in the rain since the original post, and they do great, no complaints. 11.5" wide looks good, I didn't want an overly wide tire that sticks out several inches, so the 0 offset and 11.5 seem to be a good combo.
how far outside of the fenders are the tries sitting with that offset? debating on what size spacer i'm going to use with the stock platinum 20" wheels. i want the outside of the tires to sit even or barely outside the top of the fenders.

have you seen any of the KO2 285/65/20 in person, they are supposed to be 11.5" but just seem skinny compared to other brands? i was just wondering if you have been able to compare. I was thinking about going with either the 295/60/20 or the 35x11.5 20 with the 1.25-1.5 spacers on the stock wheel.
I have same concern. A guy down the street from me has the BFG 285/65/20's and they look skinny. Nitto claims the 35x11.50 is only 11.42" wide. To me it looks wider than the BFG based on pics here. Maybe the Nitto looks wider because of the aggressive sidewall. I have seen the Ridge Grappler in person and they look much more aggressive than the KO2's. They are AT tires with MT sidewalls.

Agreed with the concern on the 11.42" width concern.
I have seen 285x65r20 (11.45") Bfg Ko2 and they looked to skinny!
My truck currently 275x65r20 (11.1") Goodyear duratracs and I'm not a fan they look way to skinny.
But the ridge Grapplers in photos present wider that both the Ko2 and the Duratrac.

Maybe the 11.42" measurement doesn't take in to consideration the beefy sidewall. I have some 1.25" Bora wheel adapters on order, and should be here soon. Probably will order the tires soon after so we will see what they look like with 1.25" adapters.

That's exactly what I was wondering withe the more aggressive sidewall and tread if it makes the tire look wider
I Had the 35x12.5r20 Nitto Trail Grappler and they measure 13.6 wide and looked so good

i bet! 13.6 is wide. I'm sort of leaning towards the 295/60's for a little extra width. Lose .7" in height though. Ugh!!
That's why I'm looking at the Nitto Trail Grappler in a 295x60r20 aka 34.45" by 12.17" wide.
Where as the Nitto Ridge Grappler is 39.94" by 11.77" wide in a 295x60r20
But I like the Nitto Ridge Grappler for more miles, better on road traction and less noise
Picturse to show the width of my old tires, looks like a steam roller.

I like the beefy looking tire. I'm curious if a 295/65/20 ridge grappler would fit on a 2.5" level? I think it may be a bit too tall.

295x65r20 is 35.12 by 11.7 so that's 0.6" taller than a 35" tires. I think that you would have major rubbing on a 2013 f150 for sure and still probably on the 2015+'s some trimming and remove crash bars
I have seen one thread with people running 37" by 12.5" on 2015+'s on another thread but I think they are doing major trimming.
