Nitto Trail Grapplers for 2007 Screw

I am looking to get a 2" Autospring level for my 2007 Screw 4x4 and new tires - Nitto Trail Grapplers 295/60R20 to go on my stock 20" wheels.
I wanted to double check and make sure that I am not going to have any rubbing issues as well as get opinions on these tires - how long should they last, how is the road noise and any other comments.
Thanks!

Lakemarykid (is that right?) has this exact set up I believe. PM him

Thanks. I think you are correct but also think that he used 1/2" wheel spacers. I will send him a message to double check.

The deep backspacing may cause some rubbing using the factory 20's...I ran some 305x55x20 AT's on my 20's that were real close on the inside but no rubbing. Any rubbing with the 295x60's may be due to the sidelug's on the Trailgrappler's. Ought to look great after installing them!

Yeah, I think the factory 20s backspacing makes them somewhat problematic with larger tires...

He does have spacers, but I think he had the tires without them for a while and only added the spacers for looks mostly. Maybe he had 1/2" before and then went to the current 2" ones

He had 1/4" wheel spacers, then moved on to the 2" ones recently.

Was thinking about the same 295/60r20 and found this, scroll down towards the bottom, pic with 2" level kit, that tire size on stock 2010 FX4 20" plasti dipped wheels.

Thanks for the link. His truck is a 2010 so there might be some differences for my 2007...but a good thread to look through to see the Nitto Trail Grapplers!

I love the look personally. Perfect tire size and the nice stock 20s look good as well

I just called Wheel Adapters and it appears as if the 1/4" spacer is just a "flat spacer" - I am not sure if that is good or bad or indifferent but it apparently would be custom made.

I assume that this is the spacer that was used...looks like a PM to lakemarykid is in order to confirm.

Hell, you could probably buy lakemarykid's set from him! He won't be needing them
