i will also add.... i run 285/75/R16 on my truck and i clear them with no problem. granted my turning radius sucks but they clear..... i think the actual size in standard is 32.8x11.4x16

 

MTZ's baby!

 

Do you have any issues with rubbing? Also could you post some pictures of your truck please... Thanks

 

ill take a pic in the a.m. and post it up tomorrow after 5

and yes... i do rub when i turn the wheel lock to lock... thus causing my turn radius to suck.

 

Ah you answered my question, David. lol.

 

BFGoodrich Mud Terrain T/A KM2, BFG Mud terrains the original style are bad on glare Ice, I have a set.

 

Anybody got any pictures of a stock height ranger with the km2's?

 

BF Goodrich KM2 33x10.50's
No lift required. Shouldn't have any rubbing.

 

Id rather have the extra inch and just deal with the rubbing.

 

WTF?
So then they don't really "clear" do they, if they rub stuff so much that your turning radius sucks?

The ranger turning radius already sucks, the last thing I would want to do is make it worse. I know on a lot of trails I went on I was having to make 5 point turns to get around some stuff.

 

here are my 32x11.5x15 Km2's. i wouldnt recomend going to 33's. i have the torsion bar cranked and its pretty tight. Love the tires. out preformed a jeep in the snow with them you wont regret

 

Cooky your truck sits lower than from the factory anyways. I still have a long time between now and the time i buy tires so i am still thinking of all my options. Most likely what i will end up doing is just a trial and error kind of thing. Try 33's with just maxxed bars and shackles and if i have any rubbing issues ill do the 1" BL. But ill never do a 3" BL though. I think i should be able to clear 33's pretty well though. Thesoundmaster's runnin 33's and all he has done is cranked his T-bars. I think thats all he's done. He can chime if im wrong on that though.

 

i say 3in bl you might say no but that will be the cure for your issue all day long minimum to no rub ect.. especially with maxed t-bars and aal's or shackles but just my opinion

 

if you want to do a 1" bl why not just do the 3"? im putting in my 3" in the spring its too cold and snowy to do it now

 

I dont know. first of all i dont want to get rid of my tow hooks and im not cuttin the valance. and second of all body lifts just arnt my thing. imo if you wanna lift your truck go for a suspension lift.

 

Cooky how man miles do you have on your km2's?

 

I just got them about a month ago. so about 1000. but i worked at discount tire and i would say you would get anywhere from 30 to 40 k depending on how you drive.

 

oh and i was wondering how my truck sits lower than factory... did i put on a lowering kit that i forgot about?

 

I hate how Mud terrains are way more exspensive than AT's And last half as long. I guess there worth it in the mud though.

 

i meant to say that yours sits lower from the factory than mine does. the 07's (i thought) sat lower than 02's. i could be wrong. it could be the 08's that sit lower.

 

Its the 08s that sit lower

 

Oooook. i thought thats what it was... wasnt sure though.

 

sorry bout that cooky

 

the only time they rub is when i turn "LOCK TO LOCK"..... and its still not that bad. they only hit the back corner of the inside fender...

when i go offroad they clear jus fine. no bottoming out...

as far as the trail thing.... you can still turn lock to lock without hurting the tire. i do it all the time and no damage to the truck or the tires as far as my tire tread depth gauge says.

 

Go 285/75/16. You dont want a 33 stock. The height isn't what gets you. It's the width. On my old wheels I rubbed up front and out back on full flex. I haven't tried with the new wheels yet, but if you dont wana BL. Stick to a 32. They look perfect on non lifted trucks. 33's will look to stuffed.
