Largest tire for stock wheel: Terra Grappler G3 vs BFG KO3 275/65R20

[JDRhodesian]

Hi there - I got a new to me 2013 LX 570 with stock wheels. Looking for tire recommendations for stock wheels + sensor lift only with 20" wheels. I have seen some old threads of people successfully running KO3's 275/65/20's without spacers but these tires only come E rated and are 60. Seems the BFG's run small. That said, at only 47 lbs per tire, the Nitto G3's really got my attention - I am just worried that they will run true to size and may require spacers due to them hitting the UCA's. Anyone using the G3's and speak to their experience thus far with them? Even better if you're running them in this size. I would add a 1" spacer but it seems 2013+ model OEM wheels don't have the proper relief cuts and I'd have to use 1.25" spider traxx which really starts to significantly change the geometry of the suspension and add's $470 to the cost... not to mention is may cause even more rubbing. If anyone can recommend a solid tire in this size, that would be much appreciated.

Stock tires are 285's, you're slimming down so it shouldn't hit your UCA. I don't think you'll have an issue running 275/65/20 with stock offset. You'll hit your mud flaps and front fender liner i bet, but UCA might be not.

Got it thats what I am seeing as well. This car will be wife's DD so I really want to avoid an E rated tire. Have you run a P and/or SL (non LT) tire on your rig in a larger than stock size before? My priority is highway comfort

On my 100 series i ran 275/70/18 General Grabber ATX in SL load, they look great and is not heavy. Great daily and can take mild offroading, i wouldn't rock crawl with it though. I'm running 295/70/18 E tires now on my LX but with the AHC suspension, i find it very comfortable. Bad MPG and braking takes more effort though.

Roger that. Are you running spacers with 295s on the LX? and by poor MPG - what are you averaging?
