I have 1 (waiting on the other 4) km2 in 235/85/16 and i've been using it to trim fenders, and i can say, they fit fine on the stock rim, look nice, and require a bit if trimming on the front air dam, front fender liner and rear fender liner (as well as some side trimming)

Ultimately the lugs do hit the frame (if you want to call it that) near the rear fender liner in the inside at full lock. I will post pictures in the future of the rubbing and full set (as i get them) i should of had them Monday but things got messed up and they only delivered one :P

Very Very nice. I am planning on 235/85r16 All Terrains. The muds are too much for me as a daily driver and summer tow truck. How many inches of lift do you have?? What do you think is the min. needed to fit these tires?

If you get new wheels with less backspacing the stockers it will eliminate that rub.
