Stock Badlands, suspension/wheels. No rubbing at all. Overall diameter for the BFG KO2 is 29.5” vs 29.1” for the stock Falken WildPeak AT3W.

Does it have a lot of room left or just a tiny room left without rubbing?

Those look seriously awesome! How's the road noise? Do you think those would fit on the stock Badlands wheels, or are they a different size?

We love our CG BL + BL but I'm so jealous of those steelie wheels. They look awesome to me!

We put Yokohama Geolanders 245 65 17 on our BB and they fit perfect, much better look. RC lift goes on Wednesday

Looks awesome. Do you have any pics with the lift? I just got the 1.5 RC lift kit put on my BB and have started looking for tires. I want to go big, have you had any issues at all with the 245's?

Sorry for the late response. Thanks for all the comments. As far as going bigger, 245/65r17 (or equivalent) seems to be the biggest you can run on stock wheels with stock suspension without rubbing. Eventually, I plan on adding a 1” lift with 245/70r17 KO2s.

I ended up doing the HRG 1.25" kit and 245/70R17 Falken AT3w. It had minor rub on the pinch weld at near full lock so I took the grinder and took off about 1/8" out of a section of it. No more rubbing. Very happy with how it turned out.

Do you think the size still would of worked without the lift?
