Anyone running 35"x14.5"x16" Nitto Mud Grapplers?
Looking to see if anyone has gone this wide. info says the width is 15.1" on a 10" wide wheel. I assume BS would have to be 4" minimum right?????

I don't think that I've seen but one person running anything wider than a 9" wheel and that was Ridin out, and he hasn't been on in a long time. He was using 12" wheels.

i've got 15X10's and they stick out of way beyond the feners. they also touch the front bumper at full lock but i have no lift either. tires are only 12.5 though and i'm running a 4inch back space.

Ok I had to dig for some info for you but here is what we came up with.
In order to get a 16x10 with a 35x14.5/16 Nitto Mud grappler under your Jeep you will need a 16x10 with a 4.5" BS or a -25mm offset. With that set up you should clear the inside suspension components but you'll be sticking out about 4" beyond your fenders. I'm not sure if you will have any rubbing at full lock at the front but I would hope you are running a hemi. These tires are big and bad and need something big and bad to get them going. One of the guys here has 35x12.5-17's on his with 5:13 gears and it has dogged down quite a bit with the weight. FYI.

Thank you very much. I was beginning to think I was crazy for thinking it was possible. But I like stout looking Jeeps. Slickwell's black beauty and War Eagle's got me thinking of that combo...
So now I will go 16x10 ProComp's with 4.5bs and 35 x 14.5 x 16 Nitto Mud Grapplers -- Stubby bumper and xenon flat flares....

dusting off an old chestnut here. i can get a good deal on some
35x14.5x16 Toyo Open Country A/T
and i wanted to know
1. can i put these on w/no lift and have no issues?
2. can i put these on w/out regearing and have no issues?
3. if i get a 16" rim w/4.5" backspacing, can i avoid buying spacers (these tires are fatazzz!)
thanks guys, looking forward to your experienced insight. i tried to search and the only thread addressing this size was this 'ole nugget...
