This combo works very well. I had BFG 285/65/18 on the stock rims and they rubbed. It also rode like a tank. I did a lot of research and decided on cooper STT 285/70/17 with incubus poltergeist rims. Looking at all the forums I could find on tires it came down to the toyo mt's or the STT's. Both seem to have very good reviews but the coopers are cheaper and they seem to run a bit narrower which prevented any rubbing issues. I can't believe how good they actually ride. Just as good as the stock Desert Dullers. Only a slight hum at highway speeds...plus they look great! I haven't taken it off road yet so I can't say for sure the tires won't rub the wheel-well, ill give ya an update soon.

That looks really good. Love those rims. The deep dish look of those rims sets those off. Any close ups of the rim and tire?

What is the backspacing on those wheels? Looking to do the same tires but on stock 17"s.

 

This came from the incubus web site...hope it helps.

The text format sucks but the offset for 17x8 is +00.

 

BFG T/A KO: 285/65 18 = 32.58 x 11.22
Cooper STT: 285/70 17 = 32.70 x 11.22

Did your BFGs rub on-road?

 

They rubbed only in a full turn.

 

Hey All,

Just was browsing on 4xplor and decided to register here 2

I got myself a set of Cooper STT's for my tuck below as you can see they are amazing tires offroad a bit noisy on road but quiter then other i have tried.



After getting them, i convinced my buddys to get them and now the following jeeps are running them and they love them.

TJ / KJ / JK so they are worth the $$$

I love the new JK its sweet, i sold my 05 TJ to buy a truck, but still love the Jeep. Got the Jeep bug back bugging me to get a JK

 

Here is a close up of the rim.

 

Looks very nice. Do you know the weight on the Cooper STT's in your size? I know the BFG AT 285/70/17 I ran on my F-150 was a heavy sob. Cooper's website does not have the weight rating. Also what is the load rating?

 

Hey Buddy,

here is the full details of all sizes and other info which can be found on there site: http://www.coopertire.com/Flash/index.aspx

Or you i can do better just go there diect : http://www.coopertire.com/html/produ...t&LanguageId=1
