Default Nitto Trail Grapplers

Hey guys, I've done a ton of searching and reading about tires for my truck

I have decided on the Nitto Trail Grapplers.

I have a stock 2006 F150 FX4 SCrew, no leveling kit, I have read that the 285/65/18 fit with no rubbing.

My question is can I push it to a 295/70/18 with no leveling kit or will it rub?

I appreciate your help!

I run a 295/70 and I have 3 inch level. It doesn't rub anything but I think stock it will. It's about a 34" tall tire 12" wide

I just purchased these 2 weeks ago and I love them!

I am not quite sure about the 285 but the 295 you need a leveling kit for sure.

I have a 2006 XLT 2WD w/ a 2.5" leveling kit and Trail Grapplers 295/70/18. Had to trim a tiny part of the inside fender because it would rub when backing up and fully turning the steering wheel. Take a look at my profile for pics

Im running 295/70r18s with a level and theres no way it would fit without one. The 285's are a 32.6" tire and the 295's are a 34.3" tire. You will need a level to run the larger ones. They are worth it imo, spend the 100$ for the level and get the larger tires

You wont regret going bigger

How are 295's a 34.3 if 305's are 33 and some change?

Oh and on a side note what are you guys paying for these tires. For 305 55 20 I was quoted 1600$ or 410 a tire
