Tires...

Another question, will 13.5 wide fit the stockers? If they do, would they rub?

They'll definitely rub.

Thats what I thought Jeff, a buddy has a set of pro comps that I could get for a nice price.

Im on 18s but i started with a set of nitto mud grapplers (33-12.50-18) and they looked awesome, and actually hooked at The track but wore quick and Got loud.. then moved to The bww bfg trail terrain t/a in a 275/70/18 and they are quiet, Good traction off road, hook great at The track and with 7000 miles on them hardly Show signs of wear

Inner fender liner is the only thing...

I love the 295/60/20 Terra Grapplers that are on my truck. Perfect tire for stock wheels and stock height in my opinion.

BFG A/T, Mickey Thompson ATZs. Toyo M/Ts would be some options for you....Im running a 325/60 (35") Terra grappler on factory twentys for my winter setup with a leveling kit - 35s sre close but they do fill out the wheel wells great.

What's the size difference between the 295 and 325s? Do you think the 325s will rub without the leveling kit? Do you guys have any good pics of your terra grapplers?

And the radius arms...

A 295 is roughly 12.0-12.2" wide and a 325 is roughly 12.75-13.00" wide. When I had 325/60/20's on my truck with factory wheels, they rubbed the radius arms. Once I went to BMF's, the backspacing kept them off the radius arms.

Mine dont....and I run the 325..

I have some of my inner fender well cut so that my 20x10 wheels don't rub-but other than than my 35/12.50 on stock wheels doesn't rub AT ALL. not even the radius arm..

We've discussed this before. LOL

I honestly don't see how yours don't rub. I had 325's on 3 different sets of factory wheels (18's, 20" HD's, and 20" Lariat) and always had tire rub on the radius arms.

Your truck is one of a kind in many ways I guessoke:

Ill take some pictures and post them - Ill make sure to zoom in on my non scuffed radius arms.

I've seen a few other trucks with the same issue.

I've seen a few other trucks with the same issue.

My apologies - I just looked again and can tell where they have scuffed the arms. Doesnt look to bad but none the less they DO rub.


Truck is trashed but here is acouple pics.

 

[Beans71086]

Thanks mink! I like the look of that width tire, but I think I'll prolly stick with the 295s.

 

[Jeff@Spartan]

325's are a really wide tire. 12.50's are close to rubbing and 325's are wider. Too wide for stock wheel back spacing, unless you don't care if your tires rub the radius arms. Lol

That's right. Two small holes and a zip tie will easily solve this.
