my bfg's i bought used and are about done. i was looking at the nitto terra grapplers but only have em in 295/70/17 opposed to the 285 i have now. will i feel or see much of a difference? theyll be fine without torsion bar crank correct? they are only about .6 taller i believe and .4 wider. thanks

 

I doubt if you feel any difference. They will look great.

 

yeah i felt a little power off the start when i went from 265s to 285s but i shouldnt feel anything with a 295? will my gas go down even more with this small increase in size?

 

Yeah, I'm sure it will go down some.

 

i have 305/70/17 nittos, if u want to see

 

i shouldnt rub with the 295s and no t-bar crank right?
how come no local tire shops carry nittos, it looks liek theyll have to be bought on the net

 

I don't think you will have any rubbing with 295/70-17's if you use the oem wheels.

 

Nitto does offer 285s as well as 295s. The best place to buy 295s are on ebay from Discount Tire. They have a 5% off sale here and there and are like $701.XX with free shipping. Thats a really good deal if you ask me. I should get them just cause theyre that cheap and the size I want. BUT, Im not fond of not have white letters and plus those KM2s are bad ***! I want more traction as well. Just my thoughts...

 

Nitto TG's dont have white letters, at lease mine didnt.

 

Folmar where did you find the 295 nittos for $701? I looked on ebay and the cheapest I found was 752 from discount tire.

 

yea they are 7 something on discount shipped. why are the 295 cheaper than 285?? which should i go with?

 

w/ a torsion bar crank and the oem wheels, you could fit up to a 305-70-17. you should be fine w/ the 295. personally, i would go w/ the 285 b/c i prefer a larger wheel well opening, but that's just my opinion.

 

i mean the 295s will just be such a small increase in size you prolyl wont notice it much...right?

 

if you've got the 5.4 and you already have 285's. you should be fine. I went from the 255's to the 295's with a 4.6 and it was certainly noticeable, but i cruise the town with o/d off and with the tune from vmp, the truck still feels very driveable. i think you'll be fine power wise

 

lol im not worried about power just dnt want THAT much tire in the wheel wells stock. ill figure it out.

i like the look of your truck with t-bars cranked and aal. just shops round here dont think i should crank the t-bars at all....hows the ride before and after?
