Default Bfg km2 345/75/16

Ok guys. Bfg has the 345/75/16 in the km2. Right now I'm running Dunlop 315/75r16. No rubbing issues. Think I could fit these? I have a 2 door soft top Manual with the 2.5 terraflex coil lift with the unlimited springs. Already considering chopping stock fenders. Any ideas, suggestions or somone running these?

Hope I'm not beating this dead horse. Just about to order tires on Monday and trying to find this answer. They say it overall measures a 36.3. What does a 37 overall measure?

No. Not yet. But I'm also one of those guys that runs it till it breaks, then upgrade the heck out of it. I already have the locker and 4.88 gears sitting in boxes in my garage waiting for a reason to open up the axels so if it breaks I'll go ahead and get strong axels, c-gusset and sleeve it and do the lockers gears at same time. Got the drimmel sitting in the garage too waiting on the fender chop, just hold out cause unsure if I want to do it yet or not. Lol

Was about to say a 13.50. With the poison spyder front bumper and the unlimited springs for my terraflex coil lift there is plenty of room up front. Cut down the rubicon rock sliders 1.5 inches and trimmed the pinch seam feel like I have plenty of room in the rear but fenders may get in way at full flex. Don't know.

4 years when i sell my jeep, going with rubicon. so i can fit larger.
U would be much better keeping ur jeep and putting your payments toward building ur current jeep. If I had 400 bucks a month extra to mod, I would have a really built jeep. U can regear, u can buy a front 44, u can get a better transfer case. u can put ARB lockers in which are better than factory lockers since u can run them in 2 wd or 4wd high. May as well just build your own rubicon but better. Thats what i am slowly doing.

Agreed. That's what I'm doing. Building my 2010 sport into an extreme rubicon. Lol
