245/65 vs 235/70

[Cheito]

I’m planning on replacing the factory tires on my big bend for some AT tires. The tires I’ve been looking at are the Goodyear Wrangler Workhorse AT since they are light in comparison to the KO2 or the Falkens. I was wondering if I was able to install a 235/70/17 tire without lifting my big bend? Will that cause any rubbing? I know that 245/65/17 is confirmed to not rub and stands at 29.5 inches.

Should be fine. @Jrl runs these on his First Edition, which does have a lift but that does not limit rubbing or increase the size of tires you can run.

First Edition is a badlands with a factory lift as all badlands have the same.

Correct. Was just letting the OP know that yours has a lift compared to his BB.

The KO2 look amazing on the bronco sport. How’s the gas mileage looking like after getting these tires?

That’s the size I have on mine for 10 months no issues.
