345/75/16 BFG KM2's Pics Inside

So I just got my new rubbers installed yesterday, and they fit absolutely perfectly!!! Just a very small amount of trimming in the front.

Set up:
-OME J's front and rear, 1" Slee spacer in the front
-Extended rear swaybar, no front swaybar
-Slee CC plates, NO BUMPSTOP drops.
-Bumpers, sliders, winch, duel batteries, drawers with a bunch of tools
~6500# and the lift has been on for about 1.5 years, so its settled a little.
-1" wheel spacers, with stock wheels.

They stuff perfectly!! I will get some flex shots later, I couldn't last night when we were at the shop, got too dark.

Also forgot to add that the 5.29's are a great match for them, they were a little too low for the 35" MTR's I had, but these are great!!!

37's+5.29=awesome (Nay has been saying this for a while, but I agree 100%)

Just hope they last longer than the MTR's (~18K miles)

Those look great but would be illegal here - they stick out past the fenders. I guess you have different rules there?

He is sans flares so I think you would be fine if you still had factory flares.

 

[cool breeze]

Looks great! Seriously thinking about these as the 17" tires are much more expensive...hmm. You have the almost exact same setup spring-wise, so no rubbing at all? I still sporting the flares, trimmed in rear but wondering if the front would rub..

 

[93yotasr5]

those look awesome man!!!

Yeah, they aren't league here either, but I don't ever get bothered

A few more shameful poser shots.

What exactly did you have to trim in front? And where are your 1" wheel spacers from?
Every where I look they are 1.5". Oh and they look badass

I cut about 3" off the rear of the front fender, I just cut it with a cut off wheel and tapered it up to nothing, I'll post up a pic of the cut offs later, then I just bent the inner fender to the cut Piece, it's no show truck, but doesn't look too bad.

As for the wheel spacers, I got them from Trail Gear and they were reasonable, anymore than1 inch would cause more trimming to be done, 1 inch is perfect in my mind.

I run the same tires on my truck with

OME Heavy front/Medium Rear. Stock length shocks.

I have 2" MT spacer in the front and 30MM spacers in the back.

No wheel spacers. Rear bump-stop extensions.

I carry a tire due to the short shocks but I am not doing super technical stuff with mine. With lockers, its not an issue.

If I was going to start from scratch with these tires I would do J's all around with 30mm spacer up front and blue caster bushings. It would be perfect. Low with big tires. Love it.

Thanks for the info. I've already got the 5.29's and have been looking
Towards larger tires. I have 315's now and there isn't very much choice for larger tires on the stock wheels. These may be the ticket.

 

[wngrog]

They make 365's too.....

 

[nordost]

Yeah but the problem with 365's and even 345's to an extent is the width. I don't know why all the tire manufacturers decided to skip 16" wheels when they made 37x12.50.

 

[wngrog]

I really like the width of my 345's. They look right on the stock wheels and under the flares on the 80.

I wheeled it pretty hard in Moab this summer and I was very impressed with the KM2's compared to some of the other similarly equipped 80's in our group with other brands.

I agree 100%, the 345's are perfect for these trucks, a little wider than a 12.5, which helps as these rigs are very heavy but not too wide to where too much trimming would be needed

 

[wngrog]

With my stock wheels and no spacers, mine does not rub at all with the 4" bumpstops in the back. They just tuck into the wheelwells.

 

[nordost]

Yeah I really like my km2's the 315's just aren't quite enough rubber so whenever I mange to ruin one of my 315's these 345's look to be a good replacement. Did you get the pictures of your trim work yet?

very nice. i've got 37x12.5 on 17" sequoia rims, mine appear taller/narrower, fwiw. 5.29's are very nice with 37's for sure.

question, what shocks are you running?

i bottomed out at Rousch Creek in the fall and in the month(s) since then had an oil leak near my LR tire, thought it was an axle issue until i saw, phew, just my shock leaking oil. they are 9000 ranchos with the adjustable knob. a local mechanic saw this and my shocks and throught they were not the right ones for this seutp (PO did them)

i'm running J's, 1" spacers, no bump stops, still with flares. i rub on the front if the wheel is turned and i go too fast down into a hole.

in the rear, once on a nice ledge drop, my left rear bottomed out and the tire rubbed the inner fender - i think that's when i hit my shock. what shocks fit your rig with your current seup?

I thought you had 4" bump drops. Did you get rid of them?
