Really thinking of trying these for my next tires. I have OME lift (790's in front) with 3/8 top plates and 3 conduit washers. Extra spring plate in rear..ect. I am on the fence between the 235-85-16 and the 265-70-16 sizes. I like the stock alum wheels and dont want to change them. I would have to measure again, but I think I am 21.5 from center of wheel to fender. Better mention, the pinch welds are already pounded and I have the ARB bumper, so the front clearance issues are kind of addressed. |

265 tires with stock rims might rub on the uca a little and 235/85 will be a bit taller and you will notice a loss in power. 245/75 would be the same height as the 265/70 and not wide enough to rub. If you got aftermarket wheels or spacer you could benefit from the wider tire. |

I was worried about the 265-70 being to wide for the stock wheels. I think the 235-85 is what I'm looking for, not worried about a small power loss I think the diesel has enough to turn a 32" tire just fine. bugnout, any problems with anything rubbing at any times? Your setup is very close to mine. |

Slight rubbing in the front at full lock. The tires catch the rear of the fender liner. I just avoid going full lock unless absolutely necessary. Stock 16x7 wheels which have 5.5 inch offset. I think the perfect offset would be 5.0, keep the tires off the liner and keep them inside the wheel wells. |

Looks like bugnout has a front bumper and a missing rear bumper cover which allows the fitment. I take it that the 235/85s will not fit with OEM bumpers in place? Anybody else got pics of 235/85s on their KJ? |
