I used the BFG ATs on my ranger in Colorado - great on the mountains and in the snow.

I am running 285-75-17s KM 2s on stock rims only rubs when i at full wheel lock and hit a bump (like backing out of a drive way). I almost went with a/ts but i just love how the km 2s look! and in snow or offroad they are hard to beat.

edit: With any backspacing at all i would not rub i am with in like 1/2 inch

I'm kind of wondering myself.
I wanna run 315 70 17 GY Duratracs on a 17x9 ballistic Jester with +12 offset and I measure 5.5" backspace. 2.5 " AEV lift.
Is this gonna be a problem? Will I need wheel spacers? Any input woul be appreciated.
Thank you
