245/65/17 tire is probably what you want. Any bigger than that and it will rub in some circumstances (compressed suspension and steering).

70s will rub off-road on the pinch weld and liner over it. Lifted and stock height. Mine did went down to 65s. You only lose 1/2” in height between the two. And honestly even if you lifted these up another 2” you’d still drag the belly off-road. I’m running the HRG and 65s and have no issues off-road. I’ve wheeled mine on 70s/65s both stock and lifted.

Go the route @Meanderthal went. 16 inch wheels. Gives you more sidewall without rubbing depending on the tire size.

The fifteen52’s are 38mm the stock wheels were 37.5 so close enough!

Yes as they ship today, the nudge bar brackets are built in a way you would have to remove the tow hooks. I just trimmed/notched the RC brackets to allow the tow hooks to stay.
being that the nudge bar is essentially cosmetic I saw no real risk in notching the bracket.

A lot of talk about 245/70 (30.5”) rubbing but what about 255/65 (30”)?

I talked to a BS owner on reddit who had them on stock wheels with no rubbing. I think it should be ok as long as sticking with stock offset.

Does the rough country nudge bar block the camera?

love the red tow hooks planning to paint mine in red with electrostatic this week

I plan to do the same thing. Where are you getting your paint from? Spray or brush?

Looks good. I’ve been looking for a dip that matches or is close in color to the badlands emblem but coming up empty handed. I may go this route.

That color match has been an elusive discovery since the beginning.
