Gots new tires.. story.

[abewley]

So I ordered some Nitto TG 295/70R18's for the TLC and after an hour they said " its done". so i pay up and go out to truck and think " holy crap those look small.

Some how instead of ordering the 295's they ordered 325/60's! so now i have super wide 33's instead of 35's. so i bent down to see if the tires were on the control arms and there is about 1/4" clearance. so i go inside and tell the mistake so they re ordered tires. I then asked do u wan to take these off? they got the owner and he said just take them and we will swap on Monday, maybe friday if they get here.

Observations.. damn these are WIDE. love the looks of the width but no the height.

will post pics later comparing the two..

make sure they charge you the right price in case the ones you have on now are more expensive.

That wide stance looks good! Little short for the lift though, doesn't quite fill out the wheel well

Hmm, was going to get 305/60/18 for the 's 100.

Might have to get this size if they don't rub with tbs cranked a bit.

 

[abewley]

They rub some and you really need 1" spacers

 

[abewley]

Oh and I am so ready for the big tires to get mounted!!

This size nitto terra grappler is perfect for the LC in my book. If I needed new tires I would order them again in a heartbeat. I love them. No spacers needed on my OME setup, just a little trimming needed to the front wheel well FYI..

I look forward to the Pics abewley!

 

[abewley]

correct.. the rubbing is minor on the rear of the wheel well. and there is just enuff clearance of the UCA. While i love the look of the width i can say after driving it today that is is a bit squirmy being so wide and they do tend to track in the road some with any grooves or rutts on the the pavement.

I would think just by looks the 305 size is a bit better for a 33" tire. like a 305/65R18 will post pics monday of the 295's

nice Pings

Thanks. however the pings were removed from some Bridgestones irons and Titleist woods, the bag remained.

New tires on!! 295/70R18's!!

New tires look great. When my 285/60/18 wear out, I am going with the 295/70/18.

Will you please let me know if they rub. I have heard that they really should have a small wheel spacer....
