Default 35 BFG KM2 vs 33 Nitto MudGrappler

Can anyone meassure a 35 km2 tire and a 33's Nitto MudGrappler? I wonder if it is really 35"...

P.S. If somebody has a picture that compares both tires would be awesome !

According to their website, the KM2 should be 34.8" , I'm running the 33's MG... is it too much difference if I just go for the 35 KM2 (the difference should be 1.8")?

I am no expert by any means, but I am running a 4.5" BDS lift with 37" tires. You should be able to clear 37" tires with a 4" lift + the 1" daystar...

Just check your backspacing on your rims, make sure you don't rub...You shouldn't though...If you rub at full turn, just put some 1/8" washers on you steer stop bolt thing...easy as pie. If you can unscrew a bolt, put a washer on, and put bolt back in, you can adjust your steer stops to fix any rubbing..

I know that 37 tires could fit... but I want to go 35's.. or even 33 , right now I'm running 33's... but I'm really confused about the 35's and front dana 30 combo... I wheel frequently and don't want to break anything

aB2,
I'm thinking of putting 33" Nitto M-Grapplers on mine. How do you like them and do you have any pictures you can post?
