BFG KO2 285/75r17

[TonyP]

Must be much shorter of a tire than the Coopers.

 

[Carbonman]

I was counting on it. Every BFG seems to run undersize. I ran Toyo Open Country A/T 2's last summer in 285/70R17 with spacers. I personally prefer the look of the BFG's.

Would you mind taking some pictures at full lock? And if you had an alignment done with these tires, what your numbers are?

I plan on having an alignment done this week. i will post pics and specs when complete.

Has anyone fit a 285/75R17 in the factory spare tire Location yet?

 

[TexAZ]

Yeah, it will fit. Just have to remove a small stamped steel piece

295/70/18 is about the biggest that will fit.

To confirm no rubbing on KDSS? I just picked up Ridge Grapplers at 285/75-17 and major rubbing on KDSS. Not kissing it but full hit on KDSS. I have the exact same set up as you. Currently my BFG 34x10.5 don't rub at all but I assumed due to skinnier tire.

I'm thinking if the Ridge Grapplers run true to size, I should get 285/70-17 which would be same size as the BFG 34"? Your's measure 32.5 and Ridge Grapplers at 285/70 show 32.76" (hopefully sized at that) vs 285/75 at 33.86".

285/75/17 ST Max rub the on the kdss bar.
They measure exactly 34"
Spidertrax eliminated most of the rubbing.
Beyond that tire specific, no idea.

Sounds like 285/70r17 (with BFG KO2s) is as high as one can safely expect to go on RWs with no lift/spacers/etc and expect zero rubbing. That accurate?

 

[Taco2Cruiser]

I have both 34x10.5r17 KO2s and 295/70r17 STT PROs on RWs and they are exactly the same height, and both don't rub the KDSS bar at all, under any conditions. So you can got bigger than 285/70r17 KO2s

Alignment also can make the difference. I would never adjust alignment to fit a bigger tire, but there are alignment theories that work well for certain vehicles, with certain wheel/tire combos that can make zero rub happen.

That's the size Toyota recommends for use with the TRD 17" wheels on the LC200.

RWs get here in a couple days...why is life filled with such choices: 34x10.5r17 or 285/70r17

I just achieved zero rubbing with my 35x12.5x17 Ridge Grapplers as of 4 days ago...and I am pretty stoked. Tomorrow i’m Going to rattlecan previous run spot and test with some wheeling. If the paint stays? Confirmation!

@Markuson you've got lift though, correct?

 

[Markuson]

You've got lift though, correct?

Heh. Yes. But lift isn’t the main factor.

35’s rub lift or no...so this is a breakthrough for me.

 

[TonyP]

Don't you have the kdss relocation? That makes a large difference.

You may find this technical info from Toyota on the RW's helpful: https://www.toyotapartsdeal.com/installation/40362D86F9D917D98825767800785BB2_Tundra_Sequoia_Land Cruiser TRD Alloy Wheel PTR45-34070-34120 IssF.pdf

Please note that the Recommended Cold Tire Inflation Pressure for the LT285/70R17 tires should be 40psi, not the 46psi in the doc.

Yes...but I was still rubbing sways at full lock...and kissing UCAs at full droop.

Solved that this week with .75” spacers made up by Bora.

 

[DasKeyserSoze]

That's the size Toyota recommends for use with the TRD 17" wheels on the LC200.

Does that mean zero/minimal impact on speedometer and odometer?
