1.- Did the Nittos rubbed without the front level kit?

2.- Notice any improvement with the kit?

3.- How is the handling on wet highways or streets compared to the oem tires?

4.- Did your gas milage change with the new tires?

THX in advance, and sorry for all the questions...

1.- No, but I never had it offroad. They may have if I'd have hit the right bump with the wheel turned at the right point.
2.- Other than improved height and look, no.
3.- Similar wet, better dry.
4.- No, they are virtually the same diameter, and the wheels are much lighter than OEM.

You should note that Nitto does not rate the 295's for 7.5" wheels, if I recall correctly.
