275 55/20 Ridge grapplers on 20" OE wheels

[fat trout]

I found pictures of ridge grapplers installed as 275 60/20s but couldnt find any with the standard OE size 275 55/20. I didnt want to recalibrate my speedo so i went with the OE size. I think their fantastic & heres a pic. This pic is a little crappy but it was dark by the time i could take a pic.

i was debating doing this same exact thing! i ended up ordering rims and tires instead...almost wishing i could return them and their not even on my truck yet.

How’s the ride and feel of these compared to stock? I would expect them to be a bit noisier...

I have them in 275/60/20 and they are as quiet as stock imo.

Looking good. I just stepped from 22” oem to 20’s with this same tire size ridge grapplers on this past Saturday.

Which version did you get? The xl or lt?

Here’s a picture of my vehicle.

do the grapplers fit without having to to any custom fab? I have the stock 20inch wheels on my big horn crew cab.

I did the XL version to stay away from LTs as I didn't want the extra weight.

They do fit but depends on the size. Mine are essentially 33" tall although I believe some have 295/60s that are about 34" or 305/50s that is about a 32". Both of these are of course wider.

Thinking about gettin those 275/60/20 nitto grapplers xl on XD, fuel, or motto..... will 33s fit stock?

The ride is fine....no difference there. I want to say it takes turns better but the truck is so new to me i cant say for sure. There is a little more noise....but barely. The truck was super quiet to begin with. Now there is a slight sound of the tires but that disappears above 45 mph as it seems to blend in with wind noise.

They should with no issue. I have them on Fuel Sledge wheels and they fill up the wheel wells a bit better due to being an inch taller than stock. Think they are a great tire imo. Post pics with whatever you choose.

Dude, those look awesome! It's incredible what a difference the ridge grappler make over the OE tires. I am getting the 275/60r20 Ridge Grapplers installed tomorrow on my truck and I can't wait! I ended up buying the Hypertech calibration computer so I could adjust for the change in tire size. I will post a pic after they get installed.

I just got 275/60r20 XL rated Ridge Grapplers installed on OE 20” rims and I’m really pleased! I recalibrated the Speedo so it’s pretty much spot on (GPS apps showed me about .2mph under at 75 mph) which I suspect is more my phones gps margin of error than anything,

Also, I’m running the tire pressure at 39 psi and that seems to be about right. It’s been rainy in Dallas so I haven’t been able to get a good outside picture yet but I when I do I will post one.

Hows the fit with those 275/60r20 ridge grapplers in the rear wheel well? Nittos tend to run a little larger than most brands in the same size. Trying to get a sense of the rear fitment.

I have them in that size and no issues with fitment in front or back. Just an inch taller than oe tires.

Like he said, no issues at all. Since Nitto's run a little large I feel like it fills the space really well and look great without killing fuel economy or the ride (love the XL load rating instead of E)

I ordered these on Friday and was emailed that they're sitting in my driveway as I type this! Having them installed tomorrow. Can't wait! I did waaaay too much research on tires/sizes/etc. and thiese were the best choice for the price.

Nice! Confident you will like them especially if you ordered the XL size.

Nice! You are really going to like them, they look great and don’t change the ride quality too much.

The one thing I’ve noticed is my steering is not quite as “tight” as it was with the stock tires and my truck wanders a little bit more but nothing major!

Is everyone from this thread still happy with the 275/60/20 ridge grapplers? Ride is still nice and smooth? How's the gas mileage been affected? Would any of you want to have gone any bigger? Im thinking about the same size myself or maybe the wider 305/55/20? Any comments. Thanks.
