Yes This Question Again What Tires Will Fit

I have a 2011 FX4 with leveling kit and 20x9 XD Monsters and I'm currently running a Nitto Trail Grappler 305/55/20. Looking to Go bag to an AT tire and probably a BFG. Will a 285/65/20 fit with no issues if not what do you guys recommend. I looked into the 305/55/20 Terra Grapplers when I got my Trail Grapplers and they just didn't fill up the wheel wells enough for my liking so I went with the Trail Grapplers but I'm getting ready to do a lot more commuting so looking to go back to an AT.

Thanks in advance!

I run the same size of trail graps and they have a good 25K on them and are half gone. Yes they're loud and huge, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Keep them rotated and the pressure right and they will last as long as the ATs.

Both the 295/60 and the 285/65 will fit good.

Alright guys..... Need some help here. Had the Nitto Terra Graps 295/60/20 and BMF Novakanes with "0" offset put on today and I'm rubbing pretty bad. Trimmed the front Valance and that took care of the front but still hitting in the rear of the wheel well. Trimmed the liner but the plastic on the fender molding is hitting as well as the metal behind it. Not sure what else to do???! HELP!

So after a trip to the body shop today and about $140.00 later the tires aren't scrubbing anymore on the inside. Had to cut plastic and metal!! Still a bit on the right front valance at full turn. I know there are other guys out there running this setup with out all that work. What's the difference in my setup and yours that are working? Also for those of you looking at running a 295/60/20 with a leveling kit BEWARE you made need some heavy trimming.

Just ran accross this thread again, but it was rubbing bad because your new wheels have 0 offset. To have avoided all the trimming necessary, you would have needed a wheel with more offset, around +18 or more.

Agreed. I have trail grapplers in that size with +18 offset and only had to do some minor trimming of plastic.

Ahh the magic answer. I thought that might have been the problem.
