I know but look at this image. 35x12.5r18 ko2 would not fit stock or upgraded factory wheels bc they are 7.5 in width.

They'll fit. It just depends on what tire shop you take it to. Some will do it, others won't.

Here's proof they fit, and they drive/ride/handle great. They'll also hold the bead when aired down better than wider rims.

Are those 35x12.5? Interesting. The shop i went to didnt advised me to do it. What is the downfall of doing it? Why the tire manufacturer goes against it? Thanks

No, 315/70's, but if you look at BFG's KO2 spec, they are very close. The only downfall is that I run the tires at 30psi to get a proper contact patch. There are no handling issues, they ride really well, and they are outstanding off-road in sand, dirt, and mud. They are also excellent in the rain and snow. I see no downside. Many, many, many JK owners have run 35s on stock wheels, and some JL owners have even put 37's on the stock rims and they say they work fine. These are the C load rated version, by the way.

Maybe BFG has an English law firm. They are trying to outlaw pointed kitchen knives there.

37’s cooper SST pro on stock wheels, NOT lifted yet. RK 2.5 kit on the way.

I will add the plastic rubbed on speed bumps and 4” test curb on the rear plastic stuff. Took a heat gun to it prior to pic.

Mopar tire reenforcement and relocation kit, plus ace rails going on hopefully tonight!
Did you say you ordered the Rock Krawler 2.5” lift? Has yours shipped yet? They’re telling me June 8th.
