    Question for the group on Nitto Terra Grapplers

    OK, so Nitto has two sizes available of the Terra Grappler for our stock 18" wheels:

    255/55/18's
    285/60/18's

    Question for the group at large, is there a big difference between these two and did anyone get the 255's put on?
    It seems the 285's you'd have to cut a small bit of front cladding, but maybe not for the 255's(?) but is it a lot smaller tire in looks?

    the 255's would have a slightly smaller diameter than stock tires (245/60). I think they would look dinky compared to the 285's

    I would get the 285s. The looks are awesome and fill the wheel-well real nice,
    From Unimog to VX - a serious change in velocity - a small sacrifice in voracity.

    255?

    too small, and no different in looks from the stock IMO. 285/60/18's - go for it...

    New shoes for my Vx

    Hi, the new terra tires look really great!!

    I have been in a situation where my budget is very limited and still considering getting either the

    BF Goodrich All Terrain TA KO
    LT265/70R-16/D1 RWL cost $762 to get installed and everything

    or

    BF Goodrich All Terrain TA KO
    LT245/75R-16/E1 RWL cost $632 to get installed and everything

    Now my last question is, do i have to trim my Vx to fit these? anything else i have to be aware of before getting myself spend more money which I try to avoid.

    I have been reading most of the tire posting that are here, very helpful and decided to go with these tire however, i ma very new to the Vx stuff and still learning from this forum which has been resourceful and all.
    Cheers

    Kuba
