Tires will be my next mod and I need some advice from the experts!

I really like the reviews, performance, and looks of the BFG T/A KM2. I plan on sticking with my stock wheels (17x8.0) for now. AEV Pintlers in the future. I have JK with a 3" lift up front and 2" in the rear. I do not want to use spacers. I have 3.73 gears now. Tires must stay tucked under the fender by law here.

My current stock tires are 245/75R17 and measure via eyeball are 30.5" and 9.5" wide.

I have narrowed the search down to 2 sizes: (maybe unless others are recommend)
285/75r17 (11.3" wide, 33.9" tall, and 62lbs)
255/80r17 (10" wide, 33.3' tall, and 54lbs)

Is anyone running these tires on stock rims and no spacers?
Anyone have pics of these BFG KM2s on the stock rims? If so please post!
If so do you encounter any rubbing with them?
Any other advice would be appreciated as well of course.

 

i have 255/85/16 on the stock rims, had to take the air dam off but that was all the rub i had. Im also running with no lift so dont know if that would change anything our not......as for the tires sticking out of the flares these still have an inch or maybe a lil bit more before they will be out of the flares.

 

I will be getting a set of 35x12.5 km2s mounted on stock wheels tomorrow.

 

I tried running this configuration (KM2's on stock rims) without spacers and a 3.5" RK lift. I had significant rubbing issues that made me go to the Spidertrax spacers. I've now got 6K miles on them since the spacers (I check them when I rotate the tires) and they're fine, no issues. Plus, they make the stance just right. The tires barely stick out on either side and look good.

Which tire were/are you running? 285 or 255?

 

Let's see them! I may not be able to go 35. safety inspections here are such a PITA.

 

That's good to know. That thing will come off anyway once I get a bumper.
