Is anyone running a 255/85 tire on stock rims? Is there any rubbing issue with that size. And if so is there a 15 inch rim anyone recommends not to rub just trying to save a few bucks.

 

I don't have 255/85 tires on my jk, but I have seen them on this forum and the member that had them said there was no rubbing during on road conditions. Can't remember exactly where I saw this. Maybe the "show your 33s" thread.

I just put a set of 255/80/17 BFG Mud Terrains on my JK Unlimited. They are on the stock wheels, no lift, no wheel spacers. they fit great, no rubbing but I haven't been off road yet. I like them a lot, I am able to use overdrive again, I took off my lift and 35's to try to get a little more fuel mileage. These tires are only an inch shorter, but 2.5 inches narrower and 20 pounds lighter, something to think about.

 

Can you post pics? I'd love to see 255 80s in the mud terrains!

 

Anybody have pics of BFG MTs in 255/80/17s?

Exactly the pics I needed. Thanks.

 

255-85-16 BFG KM2's on Stock 16's. They rubbed at full lock, I put spider trax on to fix it. No rubbing flexing but I have flat fenders, I would think it would rub without the flats but i'm also running a winch and bumper with some of the weakest stock springs available.

 

I've got the 1.5 inch Spidertrax spacers already. I was debating between the 255/80/17s and the 285/70/17s. Now I'm considering the 295/70/17s as well. No lift, yet... might do a 2" in the future. No plans to regear. I've got a 2011 3.8 auto JKU with 3.73s. I'm one of the guys that has no complaints about the power of the 3.8...
