Nitto Terra Grappler G3

Mounted the 285/60 20 on the stock wheels but pulling them off in favor of the 275/65. The 285 did rub on the skid with 1” lift and stock offset. Adding 275/6 with 1” wheel spacers tomorrow. Will decide on new wheels after that. Thinking the +18 may poke a bit too much. Don’t love the 20” but I think the 275/60 should be perfect.

I'd love to go 285, but I do think the 275/60 would be a better size for these, unless you're doing a lift. The 275/70/18's fit the wheel well perfectly on mine

I’ve had the grapplers on for about 200 miles now. They’ve been great, certainly more road noise, but with the lift and larger width/profile not really an issue. They handle great, have been solid in the snow. I like them better than the K03’s and Wranglers I’ve had on other cars.

Got the SL 275 70 R18 SL yesterday. Love the ride! Went on mild OR, Hwy and some city today. Amazing difference: quiet, smooth and confident tire.

Just confirming, that's a +42 offset wheel, is that correct?

Correct. They sit perfect. Better than oem IMHO and not too far out either. Goldilocks would even agree...just right!

OK perfect. Yeah looks great! I figured anything in the 30'ish to 45 range would be what I'm looking for.

I was running the G3's at 40PSI. Had been averaging around 20.9mpg with the stock Michelins, which I switched out to the 275/70/R18 G3's. Mpgs dropped down to 18.9. Didn't love the numbers, but felt the tire was a much better fit for the vehicle. Dropped down to 35PSI last week. Now averaging 21.9mpg. Great tire on and off road, in my opinion. May experiment at 33 in the future, which is where I was running the Michelins, but for now 35 feels like where these tires want to be and seeing an actual slight uptick in economy (which doesn't make sense to me, since I thought the higher tire pressure would actually result in better economy) makes these a winner in my book. Much better look for the truck, too.

That surprised the hell out of me.
