I think it looks much better now. What do you guys think?

I really like that profile tire on the Duratrac. It looks like it's about 1mm shorter than the 245/75R16. It's a little narrower though, so I'm curious if you have a lift and if you had to do any wheel-well trimming in the front to make them fit at full lock.

Thanks, I did too much tire research before I got these. I do not have a lift, and before I cut my bumper I had no rubbing at all. Now that I cut my bumper it sags down a little bit since I have broken clips by the turn signals. I had to do I little bit of trimming of the liner in front of the wheel because of that. No problems with the pinch weld though. If someone asked me what size tire to put on their nonlifted KJ, this is what I would recommend.

The numbers say that it's only a hair shorter than the 245/75s and if so, I'm guessing would still look pretty good if one added a lift later. Did you take any empirical measurements to figure that part out?
