255/65R17???

I’ve seen quit a bit of BS with 245s. They all look really good. Sone with and without a lift /leveling kit. I’m currently running 225 KO2s. I’m looking to go bigger without a lift. I go off roading almost every weekend and could definitely use the increase in size over all. As far as I’m tracking, 245 won’t rub with stock suspension on a BS BB, has anyone tested this set up off road without rubbing? Also, has anyone gone bigger than 245 with stock suspension?

You can go bigger by trimming a body panel seam behind the wheel well cover. It looks pretty easy if you have an angle grinder.
There's a thread out there related to lifts that has photos. I'll see if I can find a link

Tag you are it. Tell us how it goes. Somebody has to be first.

Haha I’m considering it. I noticed that the wheel well material is starting to droop a little. I was looking at the space currently available with my 225. When I cranked the wheels all the way to the right, the front left corner of the front driver tire almost rubbed. So I checked out the wheel well and there was like a little bulge. I wish the wheel wells were made of something less pliable.
