I think this is what I'm going with as well. Do you know if they come with raised white letters on the 20" size? I can't seem to find any. I guess I'm old school.

Nitto Exo Grapplers are great in the snow. I ran two sets on my Ram 2500, and will be getting a set for the F350 soon.

That’s a great question. Unfortunately I don’t know if they do or not.

Sorry for stealing the thread but what size 35 inch tires work the best on stock height w stock 20 inch rims. I don't want it to rub at all and would going up one inch on tire size make a difference in towing ?

Plus they bump you rating to over 4000 lbs per tire.
What pressure are you running all the way around?

Have the 2017 Factory rims which i really like the look of, but i believe they are only 8 inch wide wheels. Looking to get a taller tire to fill in the wheel well, with the gap i created with the 2 1/2 leveling kit.
ditched the Michilens early and went with some 275 60/20 K02 's which have been great in the snow, just not the size i'm looking for ..The one tire that has been recommended to me is a Falken wild peak AT3 285/65/20 it fits on a 8" rim. Think i want to go taller... seems a lot of people exceed the minimum width and go with a taller tire, Looking for other suggestions for the folks that know more, thanks in Advance!!
I'm currently running nitto Ridge grapplers and I am highly considering the wildpeak at3 for my next tire. A friend of mine had them and loved them. Good price too!

Just slap some 37x12.50's on it and throw the specs out the window!

Yeah with a 2.5 inch lift and stock wheels 37s are about the best way to go. Look like it’s supposed to be that way.


Otherwise I’d sell what you got and do aftermarket wheels and 295/65/20.

Thanks for the input gents, I'm leaning toward doing the 37 12.5/ 20 with my stock rims. The Falken wildpeak AT3w has good reviews and gets me the height i want. Application chart shows it fits 8 1/2 " rim that would be my only concern.

I have, and know many guys who have run 12.50's on stock SD wheels over the years with no issue ever. The only thing to be aware of is that some tire dealers may not install them for you as you have a 8" wheel. Make sure in advance that the tire store will.

They may be a little ‘floaty’ and a wider rim would be more stable. Will also have to exact and keep an eye one tire pressure so they wear well.

Another option could be like a 295 on an aftermarket wheel or taking the leveling kit off.

I'm running Nitto Ridge Grapplers 295/65/20 on Fuel (Sledge D596) 20" x 10" rims (-18 offset) on stock suspension. No rubbing whatsoever. In my opinion truck rides a a lot softer on this setup (55psi int fronts & 60 psi in the rears) than the original tires and rims. My plan is to lower the rear to a 1" block and and change rear shocks to Fox 2.0's.. Stance looks good in these picture due to the driveway being on a slant.

I just got a set of the wildpeak AT3's a few months ago. Recommended by a friend who tows, hauls , and drives hard every day.

I love these tires. Good in the snow and rain, quiet, rides well. Supposedly my friend gets 40 k plus out of a set. So far so good.

My previous tires were nitto terra grapplers and its a night and day difference in traction.
