    I’ve got a 2023 TRD Pro and have swapped out the stock suspension for the Fox 2.5 Performance Elite kit with 700lb Eibach springs, Camburg Kinetik UCAs and a stage 2 Deaver pack.

    I’m looking to fit a set of Nitto Ridge Grappler 305/70/17s, with the anticipation of doing a cab mount chop, but not a relocation. It’s going to be a -25 offset on the wheels, as well. Just curious before making the purchase for tires and wheels if anyone has experience with fitting this size tire with the mods I have listed… thanx!

    Hey Steve, they're 17x9.0 at a -25mm (4.25" Backspace).

    Yeah, that makes sense. I'm just hoping not to have to do a relocation for this size, since it's not a true 35, I wanted to get away with just a cmc and some trimming, like you mentioned. I found someone that has the exact tire size and wheel offset that seemed to have dodged a relocation, but then again, I do a lot of offroading, so not sure what his usage is and how much rub he gets...
