I have a 2008 2WD crew cab titan. I am going to put the PRG mini lift (2.5 front, 1.5 rear) and looking at some Moto Metal rims (MO957..18/9) with 285/65/18 (33") Nitto Terra Grappers. To my knowledge they will fit with no problem. Is this correct or will they rub? Is this the biggest tire i can get with this lift and those rims?..Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Also, i recieved a quote from Mr. Wheel Deal for the Moto Metal rims (MO957..18/9) for $649 as well as the tires i listed above for $829...the shipping is $178...total of $1656 (rims, tires, mounted and balanced and shipping) . Is this a deal?...or what is a better website?

thanks,
kyle

eventually if your keeping the OEM coilovers setup YES they will rub or when you pop the OEM strut when you turn the tire will rub and i know since they only make the Grappler in size 18, 20, 22 + rim sizes and the smallest ive seen is my friends truck he has 35x-12.5-20 and they would rub on his 6 inch stage one Pro Comp lift when he turn.

So they will rub with the 18/9 and the 285/65/18?...and if so, how bad? what would you suggest?

They won't rub, that's only a hair bigger than what's on there stock. But I do agree with twisted, go with a 2" or even 1.5" on the front of an 08. They changed the ride height in 08 and made the front sit more level so you need less lift to level it. With a 2.5" your UCA's will be hitting the coil bucket. Call Greg at PRG suspension, he'll walk you though it all and set you up right. You could fit those tires on your truck stock let alone with a mini lift! And from what i've seen that's a pretty good price on the wheel/tire combo.

sorry guys i thought it was the nitto mud grapplers...my bad and yea i didnt explain my self clear enough. no they wont rub if you drive regular/normal the only reason they will rub with the stock coils is if you do a sharp turn going fast lets say curvy road and you turn slity fast. my friends as i mention rub but as soon as we install coilovers no more rub at sharp turn. sorry for any misunderstanding..
