Nitto Trail Grapplers 35x12.50x20

Just got these put on today. 3" level kit up front had to do some trimming on the plastic skirt of the bumper, some out of the wheel well, and a little off my running boards. I have a little bit of rubbing but nothing major so far. More pics coming later.

had to trim an angle out of the plastic on the bumper, tirm the wheel well plastic, and trim a little off my running board. It is defininatly a tight fit...will have pics from all angles when there's more light outside

I bet those will rub when hit bumps while turning.

I'll tell you what I think, I think I want those tires and I think I want 35's!!! Too bad I can't do 35's. That really looks great. Whats your impression of them so far? How's the ride, noise, etc.?

Looks gr8. Just got a set myself yesterday luv them so far. Good choice on the chrome wheels. I think that chrome might be making a comeback soon.

Chrome is ABSOLUTELY making a comeback
Awesome setup on the wheels and tires! I think you got me sold now too! It does look like you might have some rubbing while turning and hitting bumps, but maybe not. Take her out, test some different scenarios and let us know the results...I think alot of people will follow suit with the 35s if they work out with no issues as long as you trim enough. I noticed you said a 3" lift though...if we have 2.5" spacers it prolly won't work as well...might have to tough it out with 33s

That does look pretty sweet, but I agree it looks like it would rub on bumps. Looks great though. I will be buying something similar when these wear out. I did not really want street tires, but they were cheap.

I haven't had any issues with them rubbing yet, but I just got them put on last night. I agree that they will probably rub in certain situations, but I'll deal with it when it becomes an issue.

Haven't tried them off road yet....trying to find some time to go out and play.

As far as my initial impression of them i love em. Handling is excellent. A little bit of road noise but nothing obnoxious, just a little hum. As of today, I have no complaints on the tires. I was actually surprised by how smooth they ride.

I personally love chrome wheels and the rock star design. Everyone from around here seems to be rollin on the black ones, I've only seen one other dude from around here with chrome and his got put on a day before mine. But his was on a jeep wrangler so it's still the only ford from around here that I've seen with this setup

Thanks for all the comments....I was getting a lot of second looks today drivin around town.

I'll keep updating as I try out different stuff. I didn't put a lift kit on it. It's got 3" spacers in the front to level it out. If I run into a lot of rubbing issues then that just gives me a reason to throw the lift kit on!!!!!!!
