I asked around at where i work on base. I found 3 people that have the nitto terra grapplers, and they love this tire. 1 of them goes off road and says its like every other tire out there. the other 2 have them and dont go offroad and they say that the howl on the pavement is like a humvee. which isnt that bad, considering i drive humvees on base a lot.

I have found out that my LT275/65-R-20's will fit under my truck with no mods. Of course I have not seen this to verify, but I was assured of the fit.....not to step on anyones toes in here. If it works out I will definatley post pics. I will put them to the test first on rough hunting grounds.

Snake - First off welcome to the boards. As far as that tire fitting your truck, yes it may be able to fit without a leveling kit, but it will be tight and you'll probably have to do some trimming. If you were to add a 2" leveling kit it would be a much better and you could get away with zero trimming.

I don't think you'd have any problem putting that size tire on your stock 20's. Good luck and get us some pictures when you get it done.

Thanks a lot for the comments. I wish someone was running this tire on their stocker 20"s. (mainly for the photos and comments). I will damn sure chime in when I get them mounted and give a run-down on the outcome.

Well my tires are on, and for all that said they would not fit, they do and no they do not rub. I made sure of that before I drove off. They still have full turning clearance and have not touched even under bumpy conditions under full crank. The only thing left is to put the tires in a bind under 100% suspension flex. Overall I am pleased with the look. I will post some pics for you non-believers as soon as I can upload some pics on my work pc.
