Default Next Step?

Ok, so I will being installing the RC 2.5" coil lift and 1.5" Spidertrax spacers this weekend.. I will be getting a decent chunk of change from taxes.. heres where the problem comes in I like both the KM2 and MTR-K. But cant decide on size... ive seen 285/70R17 on a Jeep with the same lift and it looks nice... but the MTR-K comes in 305/70R17 which would look nicer! However.. would the extra money be better spent on other mods or should I just suck it up and get the bigger MTR-K? Also will there be rub issues at full flex with the bigger tires? Oh... This is a 2 Door X

Both tires will work with the 1.5" spacers and stock tires.

They are both great tires in their category. They each have their strengths over the other (search for related threads).

Tires have a large impact on traction, ride and appearance. For that price difference buy the one you really prefer.
