Default Stock with all terrains

I have a 2012 sport want to see what it will look like with some good all terrains on it without a lift or spacers and with stock 17" wheels. What do you run? or did you run before the lift and wheels? My 2dr jeep is only used to transport the 2 kids to daycare and me to work, so off road flex is not a problem right now. But still do not want rubbing. really want BFG all terrains but they are not made in the stock size, so I may try 275/70 17 ? opinions and pics please. Click image for larger version

Overall height would not be a problem given the rim has the proper backspacing. I do not know what the factory wheels backspace is but it is recommended that a aftermarket wheel will need to be at least 4.5".

I love the BFG km2 in the 255 80 17 but I just think they will wear out too fast. Really wish there were other tires in that size

on stock wheels first rubbing starts at 285 so anything under that should be good.

stock 17" bs is 6.25" 275/70 i believe should be around 32.6" diameter so only about .5" taller theoretically and people run 33" stock no lift.

at 275/70R17 you'll be good and the beg AT are a great choice for at tires.

265/70/17 Cooper Discoverer ATR. I have about 30k miles on this set with about half tread left. They have been decent offroad for an all terrain. I had problems finding a good variety in the stock size tire as well. Went with the 265s for more options. About the same height as stock and slightly wider....
