I posted this in the Tire forum too, so sorry about the double post - but looking to possibly buy these.

I'm going to be getting Nitto Terra's whenever I finally figure out which wheels to get.

I happened to look on craigslist and a guy has a set of 285/65/18 (close to 33x12.50?) Terra Grapplers he is selling for $500 w/ about roughly 3k miles on them or 95% tread left.

I am going to look at them since it seems like a smoking deal. Anything I should look for to assure I'm not getting burned on a set of buster tires/scammed?

285 ISNT CLOSE TO A 33.

just so you dont get surprised if you arent sure about tires sizes.
i had 33" terras on my truck ( nice tires but wear faster than i wanted )
325 / 60 / 18 is equivalent to a 33" tire. hope that helps. the ones you describe are more or less stock size tires.

Here is a great tool to help you calculate sizes, Actually both tires are pretty darn close to a 33" tire!!! The 285 is slightly smaller at 32.6 and the 325 is slightly larger at 33.4 in Diameter.
