The ones from Autozone should be fine....they are probably the 1/4" ones which is okay to add. The problems come when you get 1"-2" ones and those need to be of good quality otherwise you will break the studs and your wheels will fall off. Also, on the inflation amounts, I had 40-45 on my 35" trail graps and they wore perfectly. At 50-70psi if you notice that the tire is sitting too high or if the lugs on the side dont come into contact with the asphalt, I would let some air out. I honestly wouldnt go higher than 50. Right now I keep my 37" BFG's between 40-43psi and I cant tell they are wearing at all. Each tire is different but I know the Nitto Trails and Toyo's that you have are very similar.

Mine were a good fit, I don't have to trim the front valance at all. I only nipped off the fender flare pictured above.

X2^^ 45psi is working good for me right now. I think 50 would be my max while towing heavy loads.

I said "if at all possible".. If your rubbing the UCA, then spacing is your only option....

Nah you will be alright with the 1/4" ones...I had them on my truck with the stock rims for awhile with the 295/65/20's (35.1x11.6) and it was fine. I just ran them on the front as the backs were fine and you couldnt even tell any difference between the front stance and real stance.
