Default BF2 KM2's on stock rims?

OK....NOOB question.

Am I able to run these tires on a stock 08 Sahara? I am referring to stock rims and with no lift.

Or do I have to lift it to buy these kick ass tires?

There should not be any fitment issues !!! that is your stock tire size and even if the tread depth comes into play ..... it would only be 1/2 inch taller ......still should not pose any problems!!

I am running 35/12.50/17 BFG KM2's on stock rims (powdercoated w/ painted accents) w/ 2" OME lift ( closer to 3"),
w/minimal rubbing at full lock- on front lower links, and no problems w/ stuffing.
Hope this helps.

Nice... any pic's you can offer? Are you comfortable with rubbing or do you have thoughts on how you may eliminate it?

How? Are you using wheel spacers? What stock rims are you using? The 16's, 17's or 18's? Is the backspacing different on any of these three?

Need pics please.
