I little rubbing with full front turn so I used a couple of washers behind the turn stop bolts and everything is great. simple, cheap fix with little effect on steering radius

I went with the 285/75's. There isn't a lot of options with that size but I wanted something taller and skinny. I ran them with the teraflex leveling kit on RR wheels. Only rubbing issues on the rear fenders at full flex. Your definitely going to rub on a stock setup.

Just my 2 cents...

I was sold on 34s for a long time... I actually ordered them (305/70/17) BFG KM2s when I had my AEV 2.5 lift installed. My dealer was shipped the wrong tires and they installed BFG KM2s in 35x12.5 and I'm glad they did. They look great and ride decent on highway and around town.

They run small and only measure 33.75 mounted on Jeep under load. And they are not overly heavy.

I am happy they goofed up.

they look good but I agree until you get 35-37's they look small. mine are 285/75-17 and I thought they looked pretty good for about a week and already want/need bigger lol.
