I know this topic has been run into the ground and I apologize. I've been doing research on these forums for a month or so and just cant seem to get a straight answer to this question.

Will 295/70/18 Nitto Trail Grapplers fit on a leveled 2008 FX4 with a 2.5" AS leveling kit in the front and stock wheels??
Wheels are 7.5" wide and have 5.5" of backspace.

I would really prefer not to get new wheels cause I like the look of the stock ones, but I am worried about possible rubbing on the upper control arm. Rubbing on the fender can be fixed with a little trimming but Im not sure I could live with them rubbing on the control arms.

Anyone have this exact setup and can give me a straight answer.

Thanks a ton.

You should be fine. Rubbing on the control arms don't typically start until you get to 305s on stock rims.

 

They'll fit no problem. I had that size in 17" on my old '05 with only a 1.5" AS and it never rubbed at all.

 

what about on s 2wd with no lift. how bad will it rub or will it?

 

Here you go, exact set up - you will be fine, go for it!

 

Looks bad ***!

 

no chance you will fit those tires. they equate to larger than a 34. i'd stick with a 33" tire WITH A leveling kit.

 

I have the 35x12.50x20 trails on my stock 20's with a 3" kit and 1/4" wheel spacers and get very little rub at full lock

 

going with something different. 20" xd addicts with 305-50/20s

dont wana be melting mud tires when i get my twin sts kit.


and dont mean to hyjack but do they make a shackle that has a stock height and lowered height

 

They will fit no problem. There is no rub at full tilt.

I have an 05 fx4 f150 with a 2 in rough country leveling kit. I was wondering if the 295/70/18 trail grapplers will fit with no rubbing?

 

I have a 2.5 front leveling kit and 295/70R18 terra grappler and I had to do a LOT of trimming, I have -12 offset

 

I got a 2.5" level with 20+10 rims with -12 offset on 35" mud grapplers. I only had to trim a small amount on the bottom of fender and slid the bumper foward a half inch. No rub and didnt have to trim wheel well. Cant even tell its been trimmed.
