i thought i would post a few pics of my new set of shoes: KM2.
They are 245-75-R16 , thanks to the LOST-addict who adviced me on the size.
The rims are simple GOSS with some serious negative offset, which push the tires laterally out but also bring the tires further to the front into the mud guard when turning....no good.
The entire wheel (rim +tire) is impressively heavy, i was shocked. It must be close to double the stock aloy rim + street tire.
I am frankenlifted, and its true that they are finally minor rubbing. I cut 1.5 inches out of the bottom of the black mud-guard and i fixed back the bumper to make sure it stays up nicely and do not sag.(i ensure it is sitting on top of the ASFIR skid plate)

Very nice. I ran the same time same size too on a stock renegade wheel for about half a year. The tire was great but my Interco Trxus MTs are better. :-)
I had considered going back to the KM2 just because of how good it handled. Plus it made my Jeep look awesome, just like yours.

CoopaTroopa, these are Modular rims, to what i saw , they are also sold in the US.
I paid 90 $ per piece. They are made out of really thick iron.
