Hey guys, I've been searching on here for awhile and haven't come up with a concrete answer, so here we go:

I have a stock 2012 Sport with 17" wheels (running 3.21 I'm assuming). I'm looking to upgrade to possibly 305/70R17 BFG KM2s (33.9" X12.2") or the duractracts 285/70/17 (32.8x 11.5), not set in stone tho.

My question is, can i fit either one of these with a 2"/1" leveling kit and 1.5" wheel spacers? I already blacked out the stock rims and i really like the look, so i'd like to keep them. Would I be able to run these without rubbing and having to cut fenders? I don't really beat it on the trail and do have a 30 mile commute everyday. Most the Jeep will probably see for now are Rausch greens (maybe some blues never been there. If i go with the 285's, can I get away with just the spacers?

Any input would be great, thanks guys!

 

I'm running 285/70/17 Maxxis Bighorns with nothing but 1" inch coil spacers on the front to level the ride. They will rub at full lock, but that's the only issue I've had with them in about 4000 miles.

 

No wheel spacers?

 

Cool so you think of I ran the same set up it would take away the rubbing issues all together? Do you still have room to flex?

Thanks!

 

I typed the size wrong the first time. The bigger km2s I was looking at were 305/70 not 65... So if ur that close they prob wouldn't fit

 

Here's a pic of mine with the 1" front coil spacer and 285/70/17's.

 

Nice. How's yours with rubbing?

 

Full lock only, no other issues.

 

OP - you could always adjust where your "full lock" is if you're worried about it.

 

How exactly is that done? I'm a Jeep newbie, but ive read this several times. Might need to do this before the wifey breaks something.
