Whats your guys feeling on 255/65/17 on OEM Badland wheels.

From my understanding it is 30.1 " tall. I wish it was on a 7.5" wheel, but I love the Badland wheels...could be pinched a tad to much.

It will rub at the extreme of steering/suspension.

Found this chart:

I think that someone here a while back posted with 255’s, but can’t remember if they were on stock wheels.

you are correct sir..the pro shop put an HRG 1.25 in mine and the biggest I could go without rubbing on extremes (and I will use them here to that limit) is 245/65. Bigger and you either rub, hot or have to trim welds…. Which…. Yeah no.

I've got the HRG 1.25" leveling on my Badlands and Wildpeak 245 65 17's AT Trail on stock rims.
I think it looks great and certainly performs well off road.

We go up to the mountains regularly with both the Badlands and the Bigbend. (the BigBend is leveled and has 235 65 17 Wildpeak AT Trail) We have to meander through the woods up a few steep hills to get to the cabins and they both perform beautifully. And loads of fun through the woods to the river. And yes the Bigbend performs very well too.

I guess it all depends on how you will use your BS. I personally don't want to cut, bend or modify body parts for tires when I get what I need out of vehicles as they are now.

A note on the HRG kit. They are well made and I like the fact that they supply the Sway bar end links for better geometry after the lift is installed.
