Nitto 38x13.50r17 Trail Grapplers - First Look + Pics!

[track.n.trail]

Hey Everyone,

I just got a set of the new Nitto 38x13.50r17 Trail Grapplers installed and thought I'd post some info for anyone who's interested.

I installed them on some KMC KM235 Grenade Crawl wheels with 3.5" backspacing. I'm running Synergy 3" springs and there is no rubbing on the street. I'm planning to split my fenders and install some American Adventure Lab fender liners to eliminate rubbing at full flex. They drive well so far on road - haven't had a chance to get them dirty yet.

They are 37" tall at 26psi under the weight of the Jeep. They are D load range.

Let me know if there are any other measurements you'd like to see. I unfortunately did not get to weigh them before they were mounted.

There aren't many of these in the channel right now but Nitto is planning to ramp up production soon.

Those looks awesome!! I’m a fan of the sidewall you chose. Too many people around my area seem to choose the other sidewall.

There's two? I've been looking at this tire in a 34" but don't recall ever seeing an option for different sidewalls?!

Don’t listen to me. I thought they were ridge grapplers.

If they are the same as the 37” trail graps then the side walls are slightly different on the different sides. One side is raised more than the other. At a glance they look similar. But different enough to notice once mounted on the rims. Don’t ask me how I know. Lol.

are you running any spacers with those 13.5 thick tires?

Nope, just 3.5” backspacing wheels to clear the control arms and fender liners.

Yeah, TBH I really don't like the other sidewall

I went to the Nitto website and just realized that both designs are on the same tire, you just choose which side to mount outside! That's pretty cool actually. I thought you had to order the appropriate sidewall you liked, but now I get it!

How much do these weigh?
