Default Tires

Alright so i have been looking around at some tire options as i have 2 that only got about 6k left on them.
Does anyone know if nitto makes the trail grappler in a 17 size rim website says no and i love how the tire looks
also were is a good place to find tires for a deal I am looking into the TOYO open country m/t but the are around 300 per tire and wonder if there is a better deal
also were is a good website to find wheel spacers as I am getting 34-35" tires and going with 12.5 wide tire as well
Also any body that wants to throw out another tire that looks like the trail grappler or the toyo m/t and has some good things to say about it i would appreciate as that is pretty much what i am looking for thanks for the help and also the price range is up to about 230 bucks a tire unless i really like it
Thanks

You're not going to find many M/T's for that price, especially if you're looking for 35's. However, I can tell you from personal experience that the Toyo M/T's are AMAZING. Great tread life, not very loud on the street and their performance off-road is 2nd to none.

Toyo M/T's are $350/tire for 35/12.5/17's http://www.4wheelparts.com/Tires/Toy...t_pn=TOY360310

And other M/T's are going to be in the same price range.

I know the toyo's are some great tires after reading up people were getting 50-60k out of a mud terrain which is crazy but i think i will just wait till this september when nitto comes out with a 35 in the trail grappler nitto makes some cheap quality tires thanks for the input guys

Talk about a steal and do you have any sort of lift on your truck and let me know how they fit and ride and you should be very happy with those tires and you will get your money out of them for sure

I am looking forward to the pics as we both have white trucks and I will get a good picture of the 35's with a level which will be my exact setup for now.
What size wheel are the tires going to be on as well
