Default ok nitto trail grappler!

I decided nitto trail grappler.

285 75 r17 or 295 70 r17

first one is 34.09' height. 295 one is 33.54'.. I know it's not really looks difference..

I'll lift up 2.5 in and mine is 4door. so I'm kinda worry about too much space between tire and fender..

so which one r youguys thumbs up?

I would go with the 295/70/R17's. The hight is close between the two, but the 285/75/R17 is about an inch more narrow. The extra width would look better IMO.

Go bigger. These are terra grapplers in 325/70/17 with a 2.5 lift. Wide, but aggressive look. And its lots of rubber on the trail\road.

That 295 looks seriously wide. If I'm running 1.5" Spidertrax, am I going to get any rubbing with that width?

Of course i thought about it..

If i go for 35' , i'd go bgf ta km2..

Anyway i'm really confusing, am i gonna get any rubbing?, if i get 285 75 r 17 or 35' or 295?

When i went to off road evolution shop, they said 2.5 lift with 295 or 35' will be rubbed..

I have an UNL with a Teraflex 2.5 BB and 295/70/17 Grappler's and 1.5" spacers. The only rubbing I have is at full lock while backing up and it is just barely hitting the air damn, no worries.

Here are a couple pictures.
