Default Mud graps

i found a good deal on some 35 12.50 18 nitto mud grappler.. will these fit my stock rims with a 2.5 level? do i need a spacer or something or can i just go to the tire shop and get them installed and be good?

also is this a good tire? has anyone gotten decent miles outta them? i plan to rotate every 3k

First hand experience with these tires i hated them. Had a set on my F250 38x15.50x20s. Dont plan on having a conversation with anyone in your truck, they are that loud. Also those cool little knobby claws on the side once you hook a curb or 2 with them they start to chunk off the tire and show cracks. Never had a blow out but always made me nervous. Id never run them again. Luckily I didnt pay for them and they had 40% tread when i got em. Rode them till they were bald which was 11k miles. Just my $0.02

Had them before.Yes there loud as hell.But hey what do you expect from a mud tire.Overall tho i liked em.Handled awesome off road,and not to bad on the rd.Overall tho in the winter for snow,ehh,OK.Nothing to write home about,lol.Yes they will fit.N yes you will have rubbing at full lock on your UCA,but nothing a few wide turns wont take care of.Miles,i don't remember.N yes they will fit on your stock rims.You got a person doing them?Allot of places wont do mount 35's on stock rims cause the rim width if so small and its a liability for them.I had to hit up 11 different places to finally find a shop that would do it.

Oh wait,your in Fl.Scratch that snow part,lol

I definately 2nd the Toyos. I put 20k miles on mine with a 1/4 tread left on them when i got them. My favorite tire, look good and sound good as well as perform great on the road.

they will rub like a beotch and they won't fit on stock wheels the inside lugs will rub the spindle they are a good looking tire dont get me wrong but they are loud uncomfortable and if they do rub something at speed they will rip that **** right off! even after i put the body lift on mine they still rubbed first pick is no body lift second one is with. i could not even park without a 10 point turn and trust me it gets old after awhile and embarrassing when there are ppl waiting on you to move
