BFG KO2's 285/75/16's on Stock OR Suspension

Im installing the OME BP-51 Kit Monday, but in the mean time I threw on my 285's! Only rubbing a little on the UCA's turning/backing up at full lock. (Can fix this w/wheel spacers) Can definitely feel I'm pushing a bigger tire but it's not that bad at all!

 

Awesome! I have been combing through threads looking for this. Looking forward to the lift install I want to go same route.

 

That control arm rub is more about wheel spacing. OR wheels aren't offset enough

 

• That's why I said "(Can be fixed w/wheel spacers)" lol

 

I should read more closely

 

Lol how so?

 

Just ballsy stuffing those 285s with no lift. I commend you sir

 

Nice! I'll be following this, my plan was to throw 285's on stock wheels with spacers. I hope it turns out for the best. When you do the lift, can you please add if it runs OFF the road as well as on road. Everyone on on TW says "doesn't rub" but they never seem to include the specifics. I use my truck, it doesn't ride just the pavement, yet I'm not willing to cut my cab mount on my first brand new truck.

 

You'll be fine w/wheel spacers on pavement. Off-road unsure. I'll keep you posted once I add my wheel spacers and lift and take it off road.

 

...and pushes into the cab mount.

 

Have you experienced this?

 

I've got an OR 2nd gen, so not sure if it'll be exactly the same. But I've got the stock OR wheel, 285's, 1.25 spacer, and about 2.5" lift. It all works fine on road..off road the rear tires rub hard against the fenders do to the spacers and seems like it's going to tear it off one day.

 

No; I've done my best to avoid it.

 

What have you done to avoid it?

 

I had the same setup on my 2nd Gen and had rubbing as well, but I believe the 3rd Gen has a little more space to play w. I have to 285's on right now w/no lift (lifts going on tmrw) I have no running at all right now unless I'm backing up at full lock.

 

Avoiding the urge to go any bigger than 32" or wider than 265.
If I do, I've resigned my self to a cmc. To me, there's no avoiding it.

Look at your 4th pic...
If you bring it out further with a wheel spacer, the outside of the tire will have a larger steering arc, right into the cab mount.

 

It may just miss it, won't be able to test it before lift goes on though.

 

Looks good

 

Sexy

Best tire ever created for trucks
