Hi-- I've been searching here an other KK forums and haven't found much info. I'm trading my 05 KJ for a '10kk and it needs tires. Has anyone experienced rubbing putting 255/70r16's (thinking of Cooper AT3 or Hankook ATM) on with the the stock suspension?

Seems like a good size for a stock Jeep on the beach. Also considereing 245/75r16 but it looks like there is more a chance of them rubbing.

Thanks! I'm surprised they fit. Great size for a stock kk.

Anyone have negative experiences with this size?

new suspensions should be no problem... but i did notice that if the suspension was old and sagged a bit ( like 50 or 60 k) you could potentially have some rubbing issues
