Nitto Terra Grappler 305's + LC rims combo

UPDATED, Wheels and tires are now on, lookie!

Hey guys,

After all the searching i did, I didn't get a definite answer so I wanted to ask, how much rubbing if any will occur with some 305's and LC rims?

Currently I'm running the OME 890's in the rear and the Tundra coils up front. I've got some Nitto Terra Grapplers 305/70-16's lined up and currntly wanting some LC rims. Would I without a BL or would I need at least a 1" BL to run these tires. Also do the LC rims have enough backspacing to get the tires in the wheel well without any rubbing. Here's a pic so yall can get a better idea of my rig.




Let me know what yall think. Thanks!

id get a 1 inch bl, gonna keep things from rubbing too extensively (sp?) you can prob run the 305s with the LC wheels on there without a BL but it may require a decent amount of trimming

you wont have any rubbing issues whatsoever. my buddy has an 00 with 305 MT/R's..no BL and approx 2.5~2.75" lift up front via downey CO's, and approx 3" out back with ome/billies. no rub.

...well except for some plastic trim on the bumper part of the LTD fender flares, as well as some of the LTD running board end cap needed to be trimmed. but you dont have that...so you should be good...

i didnt have any rub issues either, 'cept for the same plastic trim rub which was an easy fix.

When you say trim, do you mean the pinch weld in the wheel well? what about rubbing the upper A arm, any?

nope, i meant plastic trim. (fender flare, running board end caps) you dont have it on your runner. its the LTD flares and the LTD running boards that catch ever so slightly. clearance is OK on the A arms..probably about 1/4"

my buddy doesnt wheel his, but i had minor rubbing in the back of mine w/ 285's only in the rear under full stuff. but i think this rubbing was also from the LTD flares/mudflap pieces but not metal.

yeah you could prob get away with pinch weld. also depends on which 305 you go with, goodyears have that round balloon look, nittos may have a little more of a flat top to them, and may catch more stuff.

LC wheels will keep them from hitting the arms though
