BFG KO2s on 2wd?

Hey all,

My mom is looking to get new tires for her 2wd 1st gen (she doesn't actually need them, but she's seeing how much it will be). I would love for her to get some BFG KO2s, but the smallest they go is 30x9.5. Stock tires are about 27x8 from my rough calculations, and i'm wondering if running tires this big will put extra stress on the drivetrain and/or rub when steering.
Info would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance (hopefully)!

Edit: truck is bone stock in every aspect.

 

Why? “For the gram” or is there an actual reason to have taller, heavier, thicker tires on a 2wd?

 

Definitely not "for the gram". They will perform a whole lot better than the street all seasons on it currently, and they look a whole lot better in my opinon.

 

Just get Michelins and call it good. BFGs will look goofy if they even fit and will perform worse than a purpose built tire for that truck.

Thanks! Pretty sure I made an introduction thread when I joined. (I did)

 

The smallest Ko2 I'm seeing is a 215/75r15, which works out to about 27.7".

 

Really?
Somehow I missed that. Is 215 noticeably wider than 205?

 

Those numbers are millimeters. It's 10mm (aka 1cm) wider.

 

Yeah I'm not great with tire sizes. That sounds just about perfect honestly. Thank you!
