snipershot · 04-27-2010, 09:13 PM

what would be to optimal tire size? 35's?

GatorTaco · 04-27-2010, 09:26 PM

it would help to know what truck, accessories, lift, intended wheeling (if any)..

just sayin

snipershot · 04-28-2010, 08:49 AM

ur gunna have to do a shitload of trimming and obviously put new gears in her first. u would be fine with 33's as well. ur call on ifu think u need 35's

NightRyder · 04-28-2010, 02:37 PM

you cant fit 35s unless you have some form of LT kit and fiberglass. also rim and tire combo come into play, especially backspacing.

I had 33s with no fiberglass and when I bottomed out and on hard turns the tires would rub.

snipershot · 04-28-2010, 05:46 PM

well i would get some glassworks fenders, most likely the widest they make them for a dc

what kind of gears should i go for? i might go with 33's if thats what is the best for fiberglass fenders. the only thing is that the tires are marked with wierd measurements that i cant read like this
Nitto Dune Grappler NTGDT
285/45R22?, Nitto Dune Grappler
Extra Load Range = XL
Max Load = 2601
Tread Depth = 14/32
Overall Diameter = 32.05""
Side Wall = Black Letters

sasaholic · 04-28-2010, 06:42 PM

how old are you? 15?

snipershot · 04-28-2010, 08:48 PM

Actually im 16, but yes, im not experienced at wheels, yet

sasaholic · 04-28-2010, 10:59 PM

damn close internet guess if you asked me

goldtaco112 · 04-29-2010, 01:51 AM

PLEASE TELL ME YOUR NOT GOING TO PUT 22's on a LT truck? I hope your looking at 16 inch wheels?...and save your money and get something other than a mall runner tire. I hate to be mean but that is just absurd.

Buddy · 04-29-2010, 11:53 AM

Search around the LT truck thread and look at what other guys are running. If you see something you like. PM that person and ask them about their wheel/tire setup.

I have the Engage LT kit up front and i'm running 285/70/17. Smaller than most are running but i dont plan on going any bigger for a while. Hopefully a tire shop wouldnt set you up with 22 inch wheels on a LT'd taco

off_road_punk · 04-29-2010, 02:19 PM

Do not buy the dune grapplers. Dont even consider them. Get an at tire. Bfg or the nitto terra grappler. Theyll be much better and cost friendly to your your parents pockets

Why not get a tire designed for the dunes, since thats all that i would use those tires for, I was thinking of having a second set of tires and wheels, because beadlocks aren't legal for street use(obviously). And my parents dont pay for my car, I do.

also dune grapplers are nice in the dunes but considered terrible in water, so good luck when its rainy outside. I would recommend A/T's as well, they do great in the sand and just about all conditions pluss they have a long tread life. cant miss with all terrains
