Pic Request: Non-lifted KJ with BFG All-Terrain's

Brigrat · **Joined:** Sun May 21, 2006 6:17 pm **Posts:** 92

Hey, I really don't want to lift my new Renegade right now, but would like to get some BFG All-terrains. Can any of you guys post pics of your KJ with these tires? Please post your tire size as well. 225/75R16, or 235/70R16 are the tire sizes I am looking at, but I would consider other sizes so long as I don't have to deal with rubbing issues. My off roading is very light, commuting on the beach, and a few logging roads.

Thanks,

Brigrat...

245/70/16 is a good size. sorry no pics.

245/70/16 but a 1 inch lift should fit without a problem

yeah, im under the impression that the 245/70's fit with no lift.

I keep reading that they will fit, but every picture I have seen of the fitting was on a pre-lowered 2002. I have yet to meet anyone who has them without rubbing on a 2003 or later.

I should know in the next few weeks, I am going with that size on my 2005. Just need to find time to get up to the tire place.

That size, or that specific tire? I know there are a few people who were running 245/70R16s before getting a lift. See this thread:

Check the link below for my cardomain. I'm running 245/70R16 BFG AT's, with no lift. The only rubbing I get is in the rear when it's fully stuffed - the noise is a bit annoying, but it's nothing major.

But then you put the pre-lowered 2002 springs in it :-P

Hey man,

I just slapped on the BFG AT/KO's on my stock KJ 03 sport.
I am spinning 225/75/16
When they were installed, I noticed that if I went with the next size up, I would be rubbing on my front pinch weld.
I weent for a jog in the woods over the weekend and did not have any rub what so ever.
I would not go larger then the 225/75/16 on the stock with out a lift.

Here is a picture but its not a close up. I will upload one later today for you to see the differant positions of the tire in the wells.

I ran 245/70 16 Destination A/Ts on my '05 Renegade before my lift and rubicon wheels. No rubbing or problems at all. Here's a pic:

There seems to be a problem with your host for the pics. If you email them to me... brigrat @ gmail dot com I woul dbe glad to host them for you. I would really like to see the pics of your rig with those tires, as I was thinking about adding them this week.
Thanks,

I had a problem with my server, that was the reason my picture did not come up.
Here is a bunch of pictures with the new tires, and 1 picture of my wifes 04 KJ with stockers....

Hooray I can genuinely be of assistance to someone!
I had my 265/70/16's on for two months before I installed my lift.
Heres the pics.

I have the full install available on my photobucket if you want to see more with that tire size and how they fit.

Jeep Dawg · **Posted:** Tue May 23, 2006 7:48 pm

I was looking in your photo bucket. nice pics man

You guys are all great! I am debating. I can't decide if I am going to go 225/75R16 right now, or wait 6 months, and go for a frankenlift, with 245/75R16.
