Im sure someone has already asked a similar question already but I wanted to see if someone could help me directly. I just put a 2.5 in Rough Country leveling kit on my 2010 Super crew 4wd. The place where i get my tires from says that they have some 295/70R18 Nitto Terra grapplers for a good price and i have a few questions. What kind of backspacing and offset would i need on a wheel so that they wouldn't rub. I was looking at either the XD Monster wheels or the Moto metal m0961 wheels. Which would look better on my truck? My last question is how good are the Nittos? Should I spend the extra money and get the BFG A/t? I live in Tennessee and it snows here every once in a while. I learned my lesson about ice the hard way!

 

Note backspacing it's not my cup of tea, but I can tell you about the nittos. I have had 36" BFG All Terrains KO on my truck and I have also had 35" Toyo Open Country MTs on my truck. I absolutely hated the Bfgs. I replaced them at 18000 miles. Now my Toyos have close to 19000 on then and still look great! I have never had nittos, but they are made by the same company that makes toyos. Toyo is supposedly the higher quality tire. I do have a buddy of mine who had 37" nitto trail graplers on his 2004 f150. He really like then and did plenty of bogging to prove it. He told me he got close to 45,000 miles before he put a new set on, but he could have gone farther. Hope this helps!

 

Dunno bout winter performance but ouch on that last picture! You would have been dead if you lost conouisness and no one was around. I bet that was cold and scary as hell good thing it wasn't deeper too.

 

I just saw you said this happened in Tennessee you southern boys need to come up north for some winter driving lessons lol jk

 

Thanks for the info on the tires! Yea it was the scariest thing I've ever dealt with and as far as how cold the water was I couldn't tell ya cause the only thing I was thinking about was I don't wanna die in here! And I'm usually pretty good at driving in the winter time but that day was different ha. BTW it happened on Friday the 13th lol
