I am about to pull the trigger on these and want to make sure I can get by with no rub.
29.5'' diameter
9.6" sidewall
7.5" treadwidth

I was also thinking FS Destination LE's

29.5"
9.8" sidewall
7.3" Treadwidth

both options on the factory 17's

Help me out quick I am ordering tonight! :shock:

No personal experience. but researched the size to double check your numbers, and at 29.53 it should fit no problem with a non lifted KJ. the 245 width may rub at lock on the sway bar though, nothing to worry about really.

a lift is in the future as well so that was why I wanted to go 245 instead of 235.
The fuzion 235/65/r17 are
29.1
9.8
7.2

I was hoping to gain that .5 inch height compared to the 29" stock tires.

Honestly, if the lift isn't that far down the road, I would hold of on the tires if you can. Even that extra half inch won't fill up the wheel wells as much as you will want after the lift.

Understand, I think there is a lift or two for sale here for pretty good prices too.
