Nitto terra grapplers. I can get a nice deal on these new and was told i can crank up the front t bar to add an inch or so to the front and help with the fit? Any other fitment or performance issues with this tire and size on my truck. 2002 off road package with the stock tires being 245/75/16....thanks

 

yes, crank them and you're good. (it measure to be 32 X ~10.5 X 16)

i would recommend a wider rim though.

 

you could fit em without cranking but having an extra inch or so crank will let em clear better and it will look nicer, 16x7 wheel will do ya good, you could also go for a 16x8, i just think the 7inch wide looks better

 

im just getting a good deal at this place on the tires for now. they are more of a rally crazy shop and are really good guys. but they are into huge lifts and big wheels with even bigger tires. I know one of there bigger trucks has 22s on it and 40 inch tires and they have 24s on there super duty. With big tires as well. They want me to do terra grapplers wrapping some black 20s. I just dont wanna drop that kinda cash on anything. I wouldnt mind an 18 for some style but i really like the look of my stock wheel. It seems to be a more rare style than most others, so is it gonna be a safe fit or a no-go?

 

No fitment issues at all...Pretty much all 16" tires are hella expensive. I got these used for $150....they run $180 each new. Here's a pic of my truck with about an inch crank and 75% tread 265/75R16s....

 

yeah i have the yokohama geolander AT+II's in the 265/75-R16 variety and they fit fine, even before my t-bar crank:
and

they flex just fine:

 

yeah if you want you can even get 285/75/16

 

999999% of the time you do not need a crank on 265's usually recommended for leveling purposes

 

tbar crack = allignment.

 

i got 285's on mine with a t bar crank, i ran 265's for 3 years with no crank, no rubbing

 

i got dangerranger99's tires now 265/75R16 actualy equals like 31.6x10.5R16 285 are like 32.4's i think.

i bearly have a crank and i got room for 285 i think.

here are a couple pics of my 265's

 

Ok so how much will these tires throw off your speedo? I am thinking about getting 265/70/16 for my truck cause they are just as expensive as my stock 245/75/16. I am looking at something a little bit bigger and dont require to much work to make them fit.

 

it didnt throw mine off at all!

 

like 2-3mph...

 

youll be fine, you could crank the bars too if you want... itd look good, i always get an alignment every time i change a tire size.

 

haha, i went from stock 26 inch tires to 31s, my speedo is dead on now, i always thought it felt like was goin slow back when i had the little tires, guess its cause i really was
