nitto trail grappler 35/12.50/18 on stock 05 fx4 wheels?

I have 05 fx4 w/ 325/60 18 terras on stk fx4 wheels, 1/4 inch spacer, 2.5 leveling kit, no rubbing, will 35/12.50/18 trail grapplers fit with no rub? What would i need to do? Do i need to go with the 295/70/18 tires that look like records. Thx!!!!

They will fit, but they will rub the control arms at full steering lock.

Sorry to butt in here with this question.

I'm new to the scene, i have aN ALL STOCK 2007 hd f150, and i'm looking to buy tires today. I still have the factory 22's, i think they're 22x9, and want to put nitto nt 420s 305/40/22 on there. Will i have any issues with size, look? I want flush. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

They should fit fine.
But since you are new, you really shouldn't ask a question in a thread which has nothing to do with your question. It just clogs up the forums when you click on a thread thinking there is additional information only to find someone has asked a totally irrelevant question.

Listen to Wandell as he is the man when it comes to fitment sizes. I have the 295/70/18 Trails on my truck and it rubs very slightly at full lock. They don't stick out much past the fender but I didn't want them too. Persoanlly I know if I had a 325 and went down to a 295 I would always regret it.

No, they do not fit.... the side lugs on the mud grapplers are pretty aggressive and they hit my upper a-arm.....my tire guy recommended some new wheels.

hey guys similiar question here, I also have an fx4, It's going to have a 2.5 inch front lift, 1 inch rear lift, and I'm looking to run 325/65/18's on my stock rims? Two questions, would the tires themselves fit on the rims and how close do you think I'd be to rubbing?
Then if prices were about the same, should I get bridgestone destinations, nitto mud grapplers, or bf goodrich mud grapplers?

the tire you choose has alot to do with the fitment,,I'm running 325/65/18 on stock wheels,,I was having minor rub on the front valance (so i trimmed) also rubbing UCA on sharp left turn(so i got 1/4" spacers) still get a very minor rub once in awhile on sharp left turn(why only sharp left,i dont know) but this happens very very little,,but if you choose a tire like the nitto mud (very aggressive tread) your gonna have alot more issues,,IMO,,as far as fittng the wheel,,should be a 9" wheel,,but you'll be fine with stock......

Wow...all you guys are running 1/4" wheel spacers?? I didn't even know they made one that small. Does the wheel use the stock lugs protruding through the spacer?? And they're still long enough? Or did you get longer studs?
