Have an Old Man Emu 2" lift and currently running 265/60/18 (30.5 inches x 10.43" wide) on stock wheels. Wanting the Nitto Trail Grapplers as they are really good looking but still perform OK on the highway. They are kinda midway between an AT and MT. The smallest size they have is the 275/70/18 (33.62" x 11.1 wide). What mods if any would I have to make to keep these from rubbing or are they simply just too big. I know about the gearing, gas and torque issues. Just wondering about the rubbing issues and whether it is possible.

 

Im sorry to say a 33.6 Is not going to be happy on the OME lift. You would need an RTE 4in or maybe a Terrafirma 3.5

 

I have the cooper stt tires in a 275/70/18 and they rub when I fully turn left or right. I'm going to buy some spacers to fix that. The only difference between the two of us if that I've got a 3 inch lift instead of 2. In my experience, I've had no issues with torque or gearing, that stuff is over exaggerated on these boards. The only thing that I lost was my mpg's. And I do believe it is a 33.2, but going from a 31, to a 32, to a 33 I've only noticed the mileage

Metric to Standard Result:
275/70/18 = 33.2x10.8/18

 

Ahhh the old TF 3.5 eh??? Please do divulge
