I run 35x12.50x17 on a 17x9 with 4.75 BS, and it is exactly 2" sticking out.

are you measuring to the end of the tread or the sidewall? I measured to the furthest point of the sidewall. tread was about 2.5". Either way I think the OP will be happy

I actually put a board running up against the side of the tire 4ft board then measured to the fender.
Hope that helps

well your BS is 4.5 to my 4.75 (no big deal)
My measurement was the rear passenger tire (not the front)
I also have KM2 with 31 PSi

I think I may have seen one of your past photos and I decided to get those tires. I cant wait till my rims get here next week so I can install them. I guess mine will stick out .5" further than yours.

Have you measured how far past the fender they go?
