Hi everyone!

I'm starting to look for the mods I will be doing to my 2011 KK...

The first thing will be the lift, I know that the OME lift it's better but because of a small budget I may go with Daystar but don't know yet.

To the point... I'm asking if anyone has installed a 265/70R16 tire to a lifted KK. I did the calculation and got that it's 30.6 inches tall but my only concern is the width... I'm looking at this tire size because I want to get the Nitto Terra Grappler since I had a set before and I think they work great and have the agressive look I'm trying to get.

If anyone knows if this will fit or has an idea please let me know your thoughts!

Thanks

that tire size is similar to a 31x10.5. i had that size tire but i was on 16x8 5" backspace rims and it still rubbed ever so slightly until i pounded the pinch weld and cut some plastic. with a stock rim you will have more rub then what i had.

Thanks DirtyKK! I think I'll go with 245/75 With the stock rims. It's what everyone choose so I think it's the best way to go. I'm thinkin to go with the Duratracs from Goodyear do you know how they do? Which ones do you run?

I have DuraTracs and think they're great tires. When they wear out I'll be getting another set. Check out the tires section, tommudd has a review of his that spans like 40k miles
