Nitto Trail Grapplers 35x12.50/r17

My jk has a teraflex 2.5 budget boost and i am thinking about getting these or the goodyear wrangler duratracs. Am worried a bit about scrubbing issues but pretty sure i could fit them easy. Any suggestions on clearance or different tires?

Both are good tires. You might find it necessary to install a 1" body lift or trim your fenders to clear them at a full flex though.

Trimming the fenders was an idea. do you know of any videos with good directons for trimming?

I jut sold my set of 34" Nitto Trail Graps and upgraded to a 35" set of Nitto Trail Graps. I went back because I really enjoyed their performance on the rocks, dirt and sand.

I thought you got new TG. What happened to the others you were thinking of?

TG = Trail Grapplers right? To answer your question the other ones were a brand I never heard of and I applied a principle I've learned the hard way... Buy quality the first time otherwise you wind up buying twice.

If u don't mind me asking, what ballpark $$$ was it for all 5 TGs? I'm seriously considering those in 35s.....maybe 37s if I can a few things to bounce my way money wise.

Cool. Let me know if you get a better deal than me. I'm interested to see the variance in price. Tires are so dang expensive.

Btw I'm sure ill see you around.

Is this tire size not too wide for stock wheels? I was looking at doing the same size but was thinking maybe the wheels might not be wide enough.
