BFGoodrich KM3 thread with pics

Another noob question.I've read threads till I'm blue in the face...LOL Looking at MT Classic Baja in 17x9 with OF-12 and BS 4.5. Will these clear the SPC UCA's once I get my complete OME lift system ? If not.....what OF and BS do I need ? Thanks

 

I dont think this is the appropriate thread for this question, but I might know a guy who can help.

Still trying to fiqure out how to start a thread in the appropriate section.

 

Yes, 4.5” back spacing will clear the UCA. I’d be more concerned with your tire size and the 9” width though.
Read this - https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...lifted-info-inside-complete-with-poll.514755/
- it’ll help you to check if your tires will mount up to 8.5” or fit 9” wide wheels.

 

Mucho gracias !!!

 

I read this in your Mexican voice Mike.

 

Porto Penasco!

 

Being from Texas......you know we have ALOT of Mexicans...AND...the best Mexican food around !

 

FIFY

 

Ok,so put some 265/70/17 BFG KM3's on the Taco last Tuesday morning.have not had them offroad yet but they handle good on the pavement.Minimal road noise.have them aired at 50psi but am thinking about going down to 40. Anyone have any opinions on pressure ?

 

I don't think you would need anything more than 33psi front and 30psi rear if the truck is unloaded. You might need a little extra in the back when you are towing or have a heavy load in the bed. I would recommend doing the caulk test. I'm running 31psi front and 28psi rear on my Ridge Grapplers to get even tread wear.

 

That’s a lot of pressure fore that tire. Especially if it’s cold. I see people run 35-40 psi and that makes them rocks.

 

I hear yall. I'm used to the E Rated tires on my F250.I knew I didn't need to run anywhere close to what I run on my big truck , so I just started at 50. LOL

 

Update : Put about 350 miles on the KM3's with 50psi ( all pavement ) Tires have good road manners. Adjusted air to 38/38. Softer ride ( to be expected ) and still great road manners.Looks to be wearing flat.I'm almost positive offroad performance will be excellent.
My previence experience with these tires is with the KM2's while riding in my buddies F150 on the beach.We were in 2 wheel drive and I stated that we should be in 4 just in case.He said....no worries....these tires are bas arse.He was right...truck just kept on pulling through.I was sold right there.Figured the KM3's would be the perfect tire for the Taco.

Great looking truck, waiting for my 315's and gears to come in.

 

Beach report on KM3's : Took the Taco down to the beach this weekend ( Teaxs Gulf Coast / Matagorda area ) In 2wd the tires pull really good without digging down.In 4wd , they seem unstoppable in the soft stuff.Still running 38/38 psi.Once I get a portable compressor , I'll air down even more

 

any pictures of how much poke?

 

I don't that I can find, I'll get some soon.

Update: about 10k miles on them so far. They've gotten a little louder but that was expected. They seem to be wearing pretty well as well. I'll update with some current pics
