Default Tire Fit Question

My first post but been driving Toyota trucks since 1st Gen Tundra, but don't have a clue about the new Tundra off road ability.

I am fixing to buy a new a '07 DC 4X4 TRD.

It has the Rugged Trail P275/65R18 on it and I have had poor luck with these in rocky terrain.

I have been looking at the Nitto Terra Grapplers and wanted to see if any of you have tried either of the following for clearance.

The OEM BF's are about 10.5 wide and 32.3 tall. About 644 rev's/mile.

Nitto has a LT285/65R18 that is 11.25 wide and 32.5 (about 639 rev's/mi.) so they should work fine but I see they also have a:

LT275/70/R18 that is 10.9 wide BUT is 33.3 tall (about 624 rev's/mi.)

Both are S Speed rated and have same load rating.

Is there any chance the taller 275/70R18 or 2 inches gain in height too much, will they CLEAR!

Some of you tire guru's please advise.

They should fit. A good tire dealer will do a test fit for you to find out for sure. That's how I learned 325/65-18 was too big, bit 305/65-18 works fine.
