| Post subject: | tire question for 2012 KK |
Hey guys, new to the KK world as I have picked up a 2012 with a little over 40k miles on it.. sport edition base with the sun roof (which is sweet). I want to install a lift but I do not have the budget for any full kits like OME from JBA.. if I do end up lifting, I'll be buying steel spacers and adding some shocks... My question is.. I saw someone on the forum that fit 255/70/r16's on a stock suspension that only rubbed at full lockout a bit... is that possible with my stock suspension? This way I could possibly save up some more for a real kit... I just hate the current look of my KK Let me know what you guys have to say! |

First measure from middle of the wheel to bottom of the flare and see how much sag you have, some do fit that size ( 255-70-16s ) BUT with VERY LITTLE room in the wheelwells, would not advice doing so, go to 245-70-16 As far as a lift , my suggestions have always been if you can't afford a full spring lit then wait and save up the dollars, you'll be much more happier in the long run |

If wanting a wider stance you have a couple of things working against you first the size of the wheel wells and second no lift With a lift you can go with say 7 inch wide wheel and 4 inches of backspacing to achieve that look, unlifted you are pretty much stuck with stock wheels and 245-70-16s |
