Good morning all -

I wanted to see if any of you all were running 33" (275/60/R20) on the factory 20" rims rims with out a lift. I have an in to get some Nitto Terra Grappler G2's at an awesome price, but they are the 275/60/R20s. I currently have the Hankook 275/55/r20 and need to replace 2 of them. I do not have a lift and dont intend to install one. Any help is greatly appreciated!

20150620_133555.jpg I ran 285/55R20 in both Michelin LTX AT2 and Toyo Open Country AT2 without even a hint of rub. Plenty of room between the UCA as well.

Your stocks are 32ish..l measure out half an inch in every direction and see how you feel about that (should be OK)

I'm running Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S in that size (275/60/20) - stock wheels on a '16 EL Limited no lift. *Edit: typo said 275/50 ... I'm running 275/60 or approx. 33x11.

I think I saw a guy on one of these forums running 285/60/20s ... aftermarket 20x9 wheels with more offset but his rig was also a Limited I think.

So far I love them; I've only been running them for about 3 weeks and maybe 1,000 miles, but I had the prior version AT3 on my wife's old Jeep and these are seeming to be even better. And they're light-years above the Eco-something Continentals that were on it when I got it (to be fair they were pretty worn). We finally got some weather in Western PA/Eastern OH and while I doubt it touches what you get up there we did get a lot of ice and snow and I drive at least 50 miles a day plus have weekend travel for my kids' sports and I've hardly even needed to take it out of 2wd ... I've also noticed that the traction control doesn't seem to kick in hardly at all which I imagine means I'm maintaining enough grip it's not getting triggered. The few times I used even just 4auto it turned the thing into a tank reminded me of my old Jeeps; it went through about 2 feet of snow/ice/slush piled up and pooling at the entrance to one access road like it wasn't there.

I'll admit if I had already installed a lift and was going to go with a bigger tire size, or if they wouldn't have cost about $400 more for the set, I'd probably have gone with the XLT version but I have zero complaints about the 4S. I'll also say they are really quiet even at highway speeds and so far stick great in both dry and rain. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and can't wait to try them out up at our camp.
