Default AEV Pintler & BFG KM2 Question

Will a set of 305/65/17 BFG KM2's clear on a stock 2012 Unlimited Rubicon when mounted on a set of AEV Pintlers? I don't think there would be a problem with the O.D.... But I am not sure if the Pintler offset will compenstate for the extra 1.97" in width......

255/75/17 O.D. is 32.06"
305/65/17 O.D. is 32.61"

255/75/17 Width is 10.04"
305/65/17 Width is 12.01"

Thanks,
Kevin.....

Should be fine for the street. You will rub offroad. The back spacing is similar to my rugged ridge. I have the TF leveling kit and rub when disconnected.

I have the 305/65R16 BFG mt km2s.

Love the tires btw.

Flat fenders, trim stock fenders, or more bumpstops up front will fix it.

Woh that is a heavy tire size! 67lbs a tire vs 59lbs for the 285/70/17. remember that evry 10lbs of rotational mass has the same effect on braking and acelleration as about100lbs of cargo aboard.
