Anyone running 34x10.50R17 BFG K02's on their stock Rubicon?

Not your question, but do you really like them? My wife has them on her Sarah and I can’t stand them. I have the KM3 on my Rubi and think they do much better overall. I will say I think hers are a little more quiet on the freeway.
OP
They are great on the freeway and still worthy off-road.
There more aggressive tread patterns out there for better off-road performance, but mileage and road noise are significant factors for us.

Tires are hard, once you’ve bought them you’ve got them for a while. Can’t say “Oh, these are too loud, I am going to take them back and exchange them”. I’ve heard of some places where that give some sort of “trial” period, but not sure of any details or if I would trust the “fine print” 
.
My wife’s are 275/70R18 (I believe equals 33”) and they fit the stock suspension, but at full turn they hit the front sway bar. I installed a couple of washer behind the stop nut.

I have them on my JKU, although they're 35x12.5. They are a huge improvement over the Toyo Open Country MTs I had. Of course, the Toyos are a much harder off-road tire compared to the all-terrain KO2.
I don't think the Toyo is all that bad. But that's compared to a V8 YJ on 40" Bias ply IROKs...
I guess it's all relative.
I've never used the specific tires mentioned, but my understanding is that you can run a 35 on a Rubicon without lift, if you don't flex it real hard.
