There’s some chunks for sure but what’s left in each “MT knob” is holding up great.How are the KM3’s doing with resisting chunking?

What’s the status on your 34’s? How are they working out rub wise?Wanted to give an update to anyone considering Ridge Grapplers in 285/70r18 on OEM wheels and suspension.
When I originally placed the RGs, there was minimal rubbing to KDSS on full right lock. I recently installed .75" Bora spacers with the goal of eliminating the rub on KDSS... which appears to have done the job. However, there's a new rub (far more substantial than the original KDSS) on one of the bolts to the driver-side wheel well. So... off to Harbor Freight to get a heat gun! Hopefully that'll do it
Here’s how they look:

I like Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo III. I had them on my Tacoma, and will be putting them on my LC shortly. I don't rock crawl, at most it's dirt and gravel as you describe. Great tire for that environment, and excellent on-road.Guys...need some input.
I have my Tough Dog suspension on the way (41 up front-45 back)
I have my 5 Dakarzero wheels ready
I need to choose a solid tire. I've run BFG K/O2s on my trucks and on my last LC. Didn't hate them but didn't love them.
Unsure what load rating to go with as well. I'm open to opinions and suggestions all the way around.
Most driving is in town but there will be excursions offroad. No MOAB type offroad. Mostly dirt, sand, gravel, trails...mostly midwest stuff. Also, snow and occasional ice.
May tow a small trailer every now and again.
Thanks in advance.
What’s the status on your 34’s? How are they working out rub wise?
Great to hear. This may be a option when I regear to 4.88’s. If the gears feel to low I’ll go 34.So with the 3-day weekend, I finally had the time to hit the wheel wells with the heat gun. Pushed them in about an inch or so and... the rub is virtually gone. There's still a *tiny* rub on the KDSS bar on full lock in both directions, but you've really got to be listening to even catch it.
In retrospect, I probably would have gone with a 1" spacer vs the 0.75". That likely would have eliminated the rub on the KDSS in both directions. Live and learn. Overall, I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I think the RGs in 285/70s really are the perfect tires for our rigs, at least on stock wheels and lift.
Do I wish we could go 35"? Absolutely. But this comes pretty damn close without (most importantly) making significant modifications.
What rear springs did you end up with? 2" lift also?Mounted the SCS RAY10's with 285/70/18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. 2 Inch OME Lift. Installer did some significant trimming but ride has been perfect, no rubbing at all.

I have the same wheels and tires on the BP-51 lift, remove the front mud flaps, and alignment with under 2* caster - no rubbing or trimming on the wheel well.Mounted the SCS RAY10's with 285/70/18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. 2 Inch OME Lift.

Probably the best pics (side, qtr, front, rear) of 275s on a 200 I’ve seen. Thank you for doing this earlier this year. How are they doing so far? Any noticeable diff from 285s - or just in general if didn’t have 285s? Looks great.Added some 275/70R18 KM3s on stock suspension.

New rubber on
Link to tire page if interested even though a “light” AT install:
Running the 275/55/20 version of this tire on stock rims and love them. Quiet, grippy in wet and snow. Crawled through some terrible roads in UT and they worked great. Best street-AT I have found, jonesing for 285/70/18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers now.
Try this thread... Tire Pressure recommendationWhat PSI for KO2 at Stock size (285/60/18)?
Either set should be fine. You have to exceed 33” O.D. or radically change the offset to have an issue. I have 275/60/20 with NO rubbing even in low mode.So I have been reading about tire size, rims, offset and spacers for days. Kinda new when it comes to offset and spacers. I have a simple question. I have '13 LX with stock rims/tires. I would like to drop down to an 18" tire. There are two sets of LC OEM rims for sale by me, one set from a '13 LC 9WITH 275/65R Geolanders) and one set from a '19 LC (285/60R Dunlop AT23) The '19 set are listed at 60MM offset.
Would either of these sets fit my LX with no mods?
