What size wheels are you buying for? I know 285-60-18s for the Yokohama do not require trimming. That's what I'm running. The Nitto 285-60-18s require just a bit of trimming.

I went to Moab this year and Biju had just purchased the Nittos. I know where he trimmed but I couldn't tell where he trimmed at and they looked really good.

Yokos no trimming and look good. Nittos, 5 minutes of trimming and look good. You can't go wrong with either one.

Peace.

For the Nittos do the triming with a dremel while the wheels are off and you are looking at 2 minutes of work, tops. That's my personal experience.

Gotta give a big thumbs up to the Nitto's.

If your even slightly handy with basic tools like a sander you can 'trim' the VERY LITTLE bit of cladding to make room. You'll never be able to tell where the trim was if you take the time and do it right. The looks, performance and compliments I get as a result of the Graps on a daily basis are crazy!

They're good on city roads, highway, high speed, off road, off cliffs, over cats (just kidding, JUST KIDDING!!!). Seriously, I love them.
