    Can any of the LT255/80R17 Nitto Ridge Grappler owners out there confirm if the tire has a 2ply sidewall or a 3ply sidewall. Can't seem to find a clear answer anywhere. Thanks in advance.

    It's an E rated tire?, 10 ply side wall. D is an 8 ply, C is an 6 ply. In Nitto's Web page

    Load Range is not indicative of the sidewall plies in a tire. Load Range has to do with the load carrying capacity of a tire.

    There are Load Range E tires that have 3 sidewall plies and there are Load Range E tires that have 2 sidewall plies. Just as there are Load Range C tires have have 2 sidewall plies and some Load Range C tires that have 3 sidewall plies.

    People commonly get confused because C is a Ply Rating of 6 and E is a Ply Rating of 10. Ply Rating is not the same as Ply Count.

    Exactly.

    Hopefully somebody with the Ridge Grapplers can read their sidewall and tell us if if says 2 plies or 3 plies. Interested in these tires but not so much if they only have 2 sidewall plies.

    I'm looking at getting new wheels and tires next month for my 19 TRD OR. Will probably go with 255/80/17 wildpeaks. Wheels will be 17x9 with a -12 offset. I'm lifted 2" in the front and 1" in the back. My concern is rubbing with the negative wheel offset. Does anyone have a simar lift/wheel offset running this tire that can give me some advice? I already removed the front mudflaps, I just dont want to hack up the truck too much....

    FWIW - Falken lists the max rim width at 8.5 inches for the 255/80/r17. Just something to consider if your set on a 9" wheel

    Definitely too wide of a wheel. I’d be hesitant to go over 8” unless you want to trash your wheels. I have the 4Runner SEMAs (edit: 7” wide)/ wildpeaks and already have rock rash

    Gotcha. I'll reconsider wheel choice since I'm pretty set on the tire size. Thanks

    The Sema wheels are only 7” wide. I’ve got them on my truck too with the 255/80 Wildpeaks.

    Nice! I like it. I thought I was the minority who prefer the skinny profile. I think it looks better myself. So sick of seeing all these trucks on the road with tires sticking out three feet from the fender.

    7 inch wide SEMA wheels work very well in this size. I would not go 9" Especially if you air down on trails.

    If you run 7” wide wheels you should be pretty safe with these 10 ish inch wide tires. I still managed to mess my wheels up a bit, but that’s more because of the large loose rocks I was messing around in vs tire/wheel width.

    Beautiful. I have been looking through this forum looking for assurance but wasnt feeling confident with all the different rim set ups and mostly 3rd gens posting. I have an 06 with the same 4Runner rims and just ordered 255/80r17 Falkens today. Did you have to do anything special (mold plastic, cutting) looks like you still have front mudflaps thats a positive. Super excited to see this, nice rig man.

    If you turn in reverse, turning off a steep driveway, or flex offroad in any kind of turn you will absolutely tear off stock mud flaps. Even the aftermarket flat/skinny ones would rip off of mine. Was the same deal on my 1st and 2nd gens

    If that's the worst of it I'm perfectly fine with it as my mudflaps are already all off. Thanks
