Question Tire size on my 2000 4x4...

Hey guys, well I'm finally ready to start upgrading my stock 2000 4x4 Scab and the first items on the list are rims & tires. I already put on a set of Bilstein shocks (love them). I picked up a set of 16x8 American Racing Pythons awhile back and am in the process of determining which size Nitto Terra Grapplers I want. I'm trying to decide between the 285 or 295's. As of right now I have not cranked the t-bars and have read that 285's will fit but if I go with the 295's I will have to adjust them. I was wondering if you had any opinions on which size I should get and what the gearing effects would be if I went with the 295's. Also does anyone have any pic's of non lifted 4x4's with these tire sizes on em? Thanks.

ive got a 01 supercrew with 285 terra grapplers and they fit great. ive got a 16x10 wheel though. ive got my bars cranked up pretty good just to level it out. here's a crap pic of my falling apart truck


the driveway is slanted, the truck acually does sit level

YOu can fit 285's, 295's or 305/70-16's easily. Depending on the backspacing of the wheel, you my or may not have to trim a little plastic off the front bumper's lower valance.

Ok thanks guys. I think I'll be going with the 285's and a t-bar crank.
