I'm soon going to be ordering a cognito NTBD 4-6 (set at 4) kit from Nick and have my wheels picked out, 18x9 chrome rockstars with a 5.0 BS. The ONLY thing I can't deside on is the m/t tire size to go with this setup.
Since I don't want them sticking out to far but also want the tallest tire size to fill the wheel opening better with NO trimming I have it down to these two tires

Toyo M/T 275-70-18 According to there site this is a 33.6 x 11.0 BUT I haven't found out what this tire measures for the height when mounted to a wheel.

Nitto trail grappler 285-65-18 According to there site it's 32.83 x 11.93 and what I have read is that Nitto's measure to the height when mounted to a wheel.

Do you think the Toyo look to skinny and not as tall as there site says?

Opinons PLEASE!!!:beerchug:

My 35's are 33" something so I would think their 33 is actually smaller.

I have an 07.5 with a 6" lift and 37x13.50x22 toyo m/t's. I am getting ready to lower my lift to 4" and run 35x12.50x22 toyo m/t's. I am hoping to do it this week. Will let you know when complete.
