Nitto does make the terra grappler, an all terrain tire in sizes 265/50/20 which is just under a 31 and also 275/55/20 which is almost a 32 but not quite it's not much difference. The 275 tire is like 31.9. It will fit, but you know you can definately go larger than 31 if you want nitto's on your stocker rims. The regular sizes can be equal to the inch tires you're looking at. Plus, if you get the 275 type tires, they're normally cheaper than the 31 type floatation tire you're looking at.

Well that helps a lot. So the stock tire size is 33s. Is there a chart out there or something to figure tire sizes. Are nitto's the better brand out there or is it opinon

I have something to add rather than make another thread. I know a ram can fit a 33" tire (285/70R17) at stock height but that specific measurement has either an 11.46 or basically 11.5" width, can I fit that width under stock height?

edit: These will be NTG's

It's all personal preference on what kind of tire. It's also about what look you like. Look at tirerack.com or tires.com they will both have tire calculators and tell you what you need to know.

yes, that can fit under stock 4x4 height. I'm not sure about 2wd stock height. Should be no rubbing.

275 is the width while 50 is the hight, I have 275/65 20 which is 34.07 tall.
