DTD...can you give me any feedback on the Nitto Trail Grappler in size 33/12.5/15? Its C rated if I understand and will this be a good tire for a JKU??
I am also looking at the Nitto in 295/70/17 but am concerned about the stiff E rating...? Either way, I have decided on the clean looks of the Tracker wheel.

As far as load range goes, a 10 ply rated (LR-E) tire will ride a little stiffer when compared to lower load range tires but on a JK at normal running pressure it's not a big difference in ride quality. Higher load range tires are preferred by those who air down frequently and rock crawl.
Give us a call at 1.888.459.4080 and anyone of our agents would be happy to help you select the best tire model for your needs

You have no idea how happy this post makes me feel! Just ordered 18x9 rims with a 0 offset (5BS) and was really concerned about rubbing with 35's. This is freaking awesome!
Thanks!
Just in case anyone here is concerned with how the 5" backspacing will work, I snapped a few pics... I did not need spacers either, not even close.
Kinda hard to see, but there is lots of room at the rear links...
Here is the front at full lock. I had my GF holding the wheel as far as it would go. You can see where my previous tire/rim set-up rubbed the lower control arm. Doesn't do it anymore... My previous rims were actually 5.7" backspace and they only rubbed a little on full turn...
At full turn, not touching the control arm, not even close...
About 1.5" of tire sticking out of the fenders on both sides with the 5" backspace...
Very happy customer. I thought 5" backspace would be a tight fit, (everyone always seems recommends 4.5") but the 5" is perfect IMO.

To be honest, I was rather nervous about the same thing when I ordered mine, but everything worked out perfectly.
