Default measuring tire height for procal
I measured my 35" nitto mud grapplers on 20x12 wheels out at 34.25" in height . Does this sound about right with that size rim?

I got 34.5 on my 18s. Same tire. I thought it strange too bc according to Nitto it should be a true 35. Oh well.

I got the 34.25 as well which seems to be pretty consistent.

Put a piece of chalk in the tread, and move the Jeep until there are two chalk marks on the pavement.
Measure between the chalk marks, and divide by 3.1416.
That will be the diameter the computer sees, and what you'll want to program in.
