2014 Stock Rubicon 285-70-17 Question
I have a 2014 stock wheels and no lift Rubicon.It is time for new tires. I have poked around and really haven’t found my answer ....
Anyone have experience with putting BFG AT KO2s in 285-70-17 on stock wheels without a lift and not rub when disconnect?
Mine came stock with 255-75-17 which measure 32.1 x 10 and the 285-70 measure 32.7 x 11.2.
Will I need to go with a life and/or spacers?
Thanks in advance.

I'm running 285/70R17 BFG KM2 tires. They rub the front fenders decent at full stuff, disconnected. Not enough to cause damage - but they rub. I'm also running 1.5" wheel spacers which for that tire would be ideal in my opinion, otherwise you may end up rubbing other things while turning full lock. I'm on stock wheels as well. I'm actually running stock four door Rubicon springs so I sit higher than a regular Sport, but my up travel is still the same since I didn't lengthen the bump stops, so it stuffs like stock.
Anyway, I'd get some spacers and call it a day.
