Trail Grapplers for Dummies
So I've been reading many posts from people who want, at a minimum, a quality all terrain tire. I have decided that when the time comes I want Nitto Trail Grapplers. The problem is they don't come in stock 20" 275 65 20. I'm not interested in modifying the suspension or spending lots of cash. My question is what wheel size is best for our trucks with the Trail Grapplers?

What I want is an American made black deep well wheel that will compliment my forest green paint.

Thank You

It does come in the 295/65R20 which is just 1" taller and still uses the stock wheel width. While I have not tried that size, I've heard that you can use that without a lift.

295 60 20 is the closest match and will impact your speedo the least.

20x9 with a 295 will be ok. 20x10 needs a wider tire, IMO.

20 with the 20x9 and the 295 65 20, and a 4 inch gain in altitude, it should look pretty good. im hoping
