    Anyone interested in a brand new set of 5 BFG KO2s in 235/85r16? I bought them a few months ago and they’ve been sitting in the garage. Went a different route. Located in Milton, Wa.

    pm me for details and more pictures.

    Yes. I've had them rub on vehicles that previously experienced no rub running the same size KO2 and Cooper ATP.

    Maddening! Its just shining up about a one inch spot on the UCA, i see no marking on the tire. Maybe I’ll just leave it like it is

    If it's only at full lock it likely won't be a problem.

    Plus one for the 255 80 coopers. At 10 psi they crawl well on the snow. And at 70 psi cruise on the rd with decent mpg

    The 255/80 is a good all around size and I agree excellent when aired down or on the highway at full pressure.

    I'm running a 285/75/16 10 ply K02. I love mine. I'll probably end up buying these tires again once it comes time again.

    Its all relative - but on tacos 285s are the norm. Skinnies are 235s and 255s

    Newest member to the skinny clan. 255/80r17 Wildpeaks on knockoff TRD wheels 17x8 +15 offset. Thanks to everyone on this thread for the info. Really helped and I love how it turned out. These skinny's don't look much narrower than stock on an 8" rim. At least to me.

    Awesome looking, those are E load, 52.5 lbs, 33.1" diameter and 10.0" width, only 0.7" less width than stock. The +15 offset looks like they sit in the sweet spot. No lift or mudflaps seen.

    Right, stock suspension and no mud flaps. I could probably get the rear mud flaps back on but the stock fronts look like they'd rub without some modifications. Since I don't have poke, I'm gonna see how much gets kicked up before deciding.

    Just wondering how the balancing went, did they have to use many weights. The yellow dots are where they would try to line up with the valve stems.
