Hi guys, after doing some research I have decide go with 265/50/20 tires (Nitto Terra grabler G2)on stock elite wheel. Since I don't do much off roading, just occasionally drive my car on the beach for suf fishing. I think it is over kill to get a new set of 18s. I just want aggressive look of bigger tires. I will post some pics this coming Tuesday, hope the ride quality is better than stock tires.

Congrats, @Blazinmd I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the fit. I know a lot of folks on here are looking at the same tire and will benefit greatly from your willingness to be the first. Could you post pictures of the inside of the wheel well with the wheel turned to the full lock position, similar to my post here for comparison purposes?

That look amazing! very aggressive setup, but offset 35, I wouldn't dare go that low.

Great choice. Nitto makes some great tires.

Be mindful that unless you recalibrate the speedo, you'll be about 2mph faster with that added height.

How can I recalibrate the speedo? Is it necessary? Thank you

Hi guys,
Quick update, after have a talk with my tire guy, I decide to switch to 265/50/20 Michellin Defender Ltx for better wet/snow condition. But it will look less aggressive than the Nitto. Anyway, I am hoping to get some pictures by tomorrow.

Just got the 265/50/20 tires mount today, it fit just fine. No rubbing issues at all.

On my way back from the installer the tires are very quiet not much different from OEM tires, I'm very happy. Btw, these are Nitto Ridge grappler tires.

I notice the MPG went down from 21 MPG to 20 MPG and I do mostly city driving. But driving in the rain have improved significantly, I love this tires so far.

I think it faster like 2 miles, base on some members on here told me. But in real life driving I do not find it is a problem.
