Hi all. I have a 2014 Ram 1500. Just finished leveling front with Bilstein's (2.8 setting) and 1" rear with Bilstein's and Daystar coil spring spacers. Moving on to new tires now. I have spent way too much time in the Bilstein thread where ppl have posted pics of tire/wheel combos. Its very helpful.

I think I have settled on Nitto Trail Grappler G2's, 35X12.5X20. I have the stock 20" aluminum sport rims. In looking at the specs of this tire on Nitto's website, it lists it as 34.53 diameter and 12.52 overall width. I think I can clear that width, but can always add 1/4 spacers if not. But, I was just getting ready to order and read back through the leveling thread that is sticky'd here. It says that Nitto Trail Grapplers, even though listed as 12.5 are actually 13.4 because of the aggressive sidewall. I don't know if I could clear 13.4 even with 1/4 spacers. Anyone by chance have these tires? Do they really measure that wide? Anyone running them on stock wheels...do they rub?

If they really measure that much wider that stock, I would be more inclined to go with the 35X11.5, assuming they actually measure about 12.5 based on the above.

Thanks so much!

The G2 is not a trail grappler it's terra grappler. The G2 is a all terrain whereas trail grapplers are mud terrain.

If your getting the G2 then yes they will fit.

As stated above the G2 is a Terra Grappler. I have the new Terra Grappler G2’s in 35/12.5/20 but they are on -24 offset on the same suspension upgrades you have. I had slight rubbing at full lock on the inner fender lining. And also had to do some trimming after installing my stock fender flares.

What I have read around the forum you need a spacer to clear 35’s on stock wheels.

I have the G2's on my truck with the factory chrome clads.... they are 295/60R20. I think they look just about perfect for my truck. I have Bilsteins set @ 2.8" and no spacers in the back.
