I am running 285/75R17 KM2s on my 12 JKU and they work great with a leveling kit. I also added flat fenders but wouldn't need to unless disconnected. I started with these pre leveling kit and they were a very tight fit. You can see pictures in my profile. This size tire has better road manners than my 35x12.5R17s I had on my 08.
where are you in the phl area? i'm near west chester pa

Thanks! No plans to disco or do any major offroading without more mods.
Is it possible to do any easy off road without disconnecting? Most likely would go flat flares later on.
