Does anyone have a front picture of 14.50 wide nitto mud grapplers mounted on their xjs? I kinda want to buy a set of 35, 14.5, 15 or I'm going to stay with 33's but I would like to bump up to 35s. I would like to see them mounted on 10 inch wide rims. I would also like to see 33, 13.5, 15 mounted on 15x10 rims.

 

You'll need a lot of backspacing to clear them... They'll run on your control arms otherwise. The backspacing and weight of those tries will put a lot of stress on your ball joints and hubs, but I'm sure you've done your home work as to what you need to run 35's, especially some heavy wide Nitto's.

 

I have alot of backspacing on my rims now. I will probably stick with 33's. I am running 33/12.5/15 Interco Trxus MT mounted on 15x10 steelys. The tires themselves weigh 63 pounds a piece. Are Mud Grapplers heavier?

 

Not sure if this shows how much backspacing I have a good amount.

 

Lol mine wouldn't balance out either.

You are running a 33x12.5... Yes, a 35x14.5 will be heavier...

You'll need to do some axle upgrades to be able to move and not break ****.

 

what about if I ran 33, 13.50? still do alot of upgrades?

 

They'll probably be about the same weight as those heavy 33's you have now.

Depends how you wheel.

 

According to Nitto they weigh 80 pounds so a decent bit more. Just so you know they are louder than boggers and wear about as fast.

 

pretty sensable on wheeling. Think I will have to upgrade my axles?

 

Do they really wear that fast? I know a lot of diesels run them. Would they last longer on a jeep?

 

Over 95% of those diesals are pavement princesses that have never touched a trail and are only for looks. Nittoss are nice tires for a trail jeep but are not road friendly

 

About how many miles would I be looking to with a 98 cherokee?

 

If you're lucky 20k miles and yes your axles would struggle with those heavy tires in a 35. I'm guessing you have a 8.25 rear otherwise I'm surprised you haven't snapped the D35 with 33s. The diesel guys run them because they look cool. They do well in mud but not great in rocks and flat out suck on wet roads.
