    From what I've read, 275/70/17 is the widest for the height (32.2" in the BFG KO2). The tallest tire you can run stock is 255/80/17 (33.3" in BFG KM2 mud), but the wheel width and offset make a bigger difference the taller you go. There is a thread for the 255/80/17 tire size and most of the trucks there are on factory offset wheels

    Honestly I'm not sure on the actual lift you get from the kit as I never measured before or after. I would say 2-2.5" of lift with these.

    Yes. I should rephrase, excluding “pizza cutter” style skinnies, is 275/70/17 the largest wide-type tire that can fit without rubbing stock UCA, Cab mount, or fender liners?

    I did it guys. Got me some Method 305s and some Wildpeak 275/70r17 coming and schedule with a shop to install 2” OME kit next Thursday. Feel like a kid eagerly waiting for Christmas to come.

    Short answer: as far as I know after lots of studying, yes.

    I wish more tires in this size case in C-rated. It’s a pretty limited selection to begin with I guess.

    Have a look at 255/75/17 and plug that into the tire size calculator compared to 275/70/17, you might be a little surprised at what you'll find.:gossip:

    Plenty of C rated tires in that size and quite a few below 45 lbs.

    Ok. I see those are a stock tire size on jeeps. That makes sense that there are so many options. There’s literally dozens of tires of all types in 255/75/17

    Interesting.

    I’m surprised 255/75/17 is not a popular size with the Tacoma crowd. Seems like a “no-brainer”.

    Yep, there's even a C load K02 and STT Pro.

    No problems fitting in the spare tire area either.

    Could someone please measure and post the actual tire size of the BFG T/A KO2 275/70R16 or 17? I’ve been thinking of getting this size compared to the 265/75R16. I measured my BFG 265 and they measure 31 inches. Are the 275 actually 32 inches like the YouTube video shows?
    People on the forum always quote the tire size calculator, but tires are slightly different from each other. Even on the interweb they always say 31.1 inches. I want to see a true measured BFG 275 like in the video.

    I also like the fact that the BFG T/A KO2 275/70/R16 come in a load range D weighing 50 lbs, versus the 265/75R16 being a load range E and weighing 53 lbs.

    Hey guys - got a question I've been trying to sort out. I'm currently running 265/70/17 tires. According to the tire size calculators, 275/70/17 tires are 0.4 inches wider (or 10mm). Assuming that 10mm is evenly distributed, I'm guessing going from 265s to 275s will make my tires look 5mm further out, effectively giving my truck a wider stance? Where I'm going with this: I've got SEMA wheels that have a +4 offset. So wondering if moving to a tire that is 5mm wider will give me a similar stance that a wheel with zero offset would. Lots of great pics in this thread but still hard to get a sense of this.
