nitto mud grapplers
So I am currently saving up for a 6" lift and 2" level on my 06 2wd. I was originally thinking of keeping my stock wheels(for now) and buying terra grapplers or terain grapplers but my cousin has mud grapplers on his dodge 2500 and they are sick. From what ive heard and reviews ive read they get atleast 30k miles if you rotate them properly....I could care less about how noisy they are because I probably wont be able to hear them over my exhaust 
any input? are any of you guys running these tires? if so, what kind of wheels do you have? and how many miles on the tires.
I appreciate it guys.
oh, and would I be able to fit them on my truck w/the lift? would they rub at all?

They are a good tire, but they do wear quickly and are extremely loud. Also, you didn't mention size, but you should be able to fit a 35x12.50 easily. I'd recommend a 9 inch wide wheel with 5 inches of backspacing.

I was looking at 35x12.5x17 does that mean i have to get a 12.5 wide wheels as well? and will 5" of backspacing make them stick out? I want them to stick out as far as possible. I love that look

No. Most manufacturers recommend a 8 to 10 inch wide wheel for their 12.5 inch wide tires. On the 04-11's, the wheel width/BS I recommended is just very common and in my opinion looks the best. That wheel spec means it will stick out 2 inches farther than the OEM wheels, which looks aggressive without sticking too far outside of the wheelwells.

2" out sounds pretty good. Id like to get 3" tho. I appreciate the information sir. Your opinions are always welcome in my book
