BFG KO2 305/65/17 Duratrac 285/70/17 No Lift

Hey everyone.

i have a 2016 JK Unlimited, and it’s about time I get proper tires. I already purchased Mickey Thompson Classic II’s (17x9). I won’t be lifting.
In my search, the looks I gravitate to are the BRG KO2’s 305/65/17 and the Duratrc 285/70/17. If anyone has any pics of either these set ups, could you please post and let me know your thoughts.
Much Appreciated!

When we bought our JKU, I had a 2 inch Daystar budget boost installed as part of the purchase. I then installed 305/65-17 BFG AT KO's on 17x9 Eagle 197's (with 4.5" backspacing). I ran this setup for 65k miles.

I have a similar setup with General Grabber X3's in a 295/70R17 (33.3" overall diameter) on Dick Cepek Blackouts 17x9 with a -12mm offset (4.5" backspace). Stock suspension. No rub for daily driving, but if I start flexing the suspension, it does rub the fenders. I did have to remove the front air dam to not have it rub with steering input.
