Just picked up a Billet Silver Crew Cab Rebel over the weekend. Love the truck and am planning a few mods. Specifically I've ordered front Bilstein 5100's to level the truck and am looking to remove/sell the stock Duratrac's to go with a 35" tire. There are few LT285/75/18 options out there which should allow me to go 35" while still keeping my stock Rebel wheels. Goodyear makes a Duratrac in that size, and I do think the stock tires have a pretty good ride given how aggressive they look. Nitto also has a Ridge Grappler and Terra Grappler G2 in that size, and Falken has a Wildpeak AT3W as well.

I've found a few pictures of a 285/75/18 Ridge Grappler on stock wheels and like the look. I haven't been able to find pictures of any of the others. While it will be in the dirt some, I won't be doing regular, heavy off-roading. Primarily highway miles, and I will tow my Redeye to the track on occasion.

I'd be interested in any pictures you may have of any of the other tires listed above in a 285/75/18 size, as well as the group's overall thoughts on pros/cons of each based on experience and my intended usage. They're all within ~ $30 of each other, so cost isn't a significant factor.

Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide!

I missed this when you first posted. Looks great! How are the tires/stock rims working out? Did you need to trim anywhere, any scrubbing now, or need to add spacers?

No rubbing, fit great. I did install 1.25 spacers and then it rubbed so took them back off.
