Hey folks,

I've got a 2014 JKU Sahara with an AEV 2.5" lift. I'm still riding on stock tires waiting for them to wear down. I'd like to get the BFG TA KO2 All terrain but keep the stock wheel. From what I'm told I can go 33" and that's about it. That's not a big jump from stock. I'd like to try 35" but I'm told they would require spacers to keep from rubbing.

(1) Am I stuck with the 33's
(2) If I add the spacers what am I trading off?

I don't want to mess with the wheels or fenders at this time. I'm satisfied with those the way they are.

Thanks!

There's a show and tell thread somewhere here of people running 35s and 37s on stock wheels. Will need a 1.5 inch spacer. That's all.

You could try the 34x10.5x17 KO2. It might fit stock wheels. I know 255/80/17 KM2's would work fine on stock wheels

Just realized you are probably running 18" wheels on a Sahara... In that case my suggestion won't work

the 34x10.5-17's fit fine but they are really only a 32.25" tire. They are slightly shorter and slightly wider then the 255/80-17's km2s mounted on stock rims. they are close enough that I am using the km2 as a spare. I would not recommend either unless you want a true 32" tire.

I have AEV 2.5 Suspension with Goodyear Duratrac 315/70/R17 Tires mounted on stock Willys Wheeler Factory Wheels. I am using Spidertrax 1.5 Spacers. I can say that the Goodyear Duratracs ride and have lower road noise compared to the Factory BFG Mud Tires.

Thanks for the help. I saw the "34" tire and thought it might be a good idea. Not so much now. That Willy's is about what I am looking for. Not sticking out too much but filling out the wheel well post-lift.

I was kind of stuck on the KO2 based on reviews. Maybe I'll compare with the Goodyear equivalent.

Thanks again for the help!
