So I am trying to decide if I have regrets regarding my relatively quick decision on wheels and tires. It came faster than I expected after getting my 2015 JKU Rubicon two weeks ago as I kinda fell into it bass-ackwards. I really liked the look of these wheels but did not account for their relative wide (9.5") width. As such the stock tires would not fit and again fell bass-ackwards into a purchase (albeit a good financial decision, as I got a great deal with trade in of my old tires) of a set of 285/70R17 BFG KO2's.
Now, I am kinda wishing I had held off, gotten spacers, stuck with the stock Rubicon wheels and maybe put pizza cutters on it. I actually prefer the look of a straighter sidewall and taller tire. You can see that the wheel is almost wider than the tread, even though the 285 should be 11.2 wide, it seems like the tire bows in to the tread.
I will say that this week having a -12 offset means that the 285's do not rub at all. I still want to do a 2" lift at some point. Just jury out on the week/tire combo.
Thoughts?
