Zero rubbing. Tires and wheels fit fantastic. I really like the wider look as a result of the wheel offset. I'll try to take additional picks if it ever stops raining in Dallas.

Thanks, @DallasBBQ The vossen wheels are likely better with the off-set. I'm sure someone else out there with the BFGoodrich K02 275/55R20's have them on my stock rims with the 1.5" Johnson rods. If someone has this setup, let me know if it rubs or you recommend the spacers. Thanks.

How's the noise? I ran the same Nitto's on my Ram 2500 diesel - love the tire, they were louder than stock, but with a clackety diesel, it didn't really matter. The Defender is a much quieter ride, so curious as to how the Ridge Grapplers were.
BTW, did you also consider the new Nitto Recon Grappler when you chose to go with the Ridge Grapplers?
Oh, and where did you get the Vossens? Any deals to be had or is it pretty much MSRP?

I'm really surprised how quiet the Ridge Grappler rides given the aggressive pattern. I looked at the Recon Grappler but didn't like the design as much as the Ridge Grapplers.

Regarding Vossen. I was able to get about a 15% discount off retail by using a local dealer listed on their website. Vossen is 100% MSRP when dealing directly with consumers.

Just a heads up: Lucky8 is now packaging their brake conversion kit with Redbourne Alston in matte black or gloss white.

Interesting - I have been considering a set of satin bronze Vossen HF-2 https://vossenwheels.com/wheel/hf-2/ to go on my to-be-built Gondwana Stone 110 X
I'm thinking the bronze wheel might be a good tie to the body color. Seems like bronze wheels have been making a come back as the new cool. I remember them from the late 70's Pontiac Trans Am...
