We just did a 3600 mile journey and the front end started getting noisy and I could feel vibration in the floorboards. Eibach 30mm springs and BFG 285/75/17 KO2 tires. Front passenger side.

Looks good @bradb622 ! No issues on the rear door?

And these are with stock 17inch steely wheels? No offset tweak?

285/75/17 KO3s. No rubbing noticed. Love the look and driving feel. Heck, I just love the vehicle.

...them at Owl’s shop in Mesa on a couple of wagons. I use the steps almost every time entering and exiting the cab now. Eibach 30mm springs and 285/75- 17 KO2s. We did a day trip with a couple of AZ members here and did experience some scraping while negotiating a technical rock section in a...

...think of any OEM fitment that uses it), thus in a pinch it is harder to find a tire in that size. Going back to other vehicles (many of which run 16s), there's no 275/75/16 (equivalent to a 275/70/17 in diameter). This exists for 255 (255/85/16) and 285 (285/75/16) options from years gone by.

LP4's look great. Just about to do the same with the Owl Vans brackets - which they ship to Aus if you have a US credit card and suggest you use Shipito if not - and bajadesigns lights from Stott Engineering in NSW (webenquiry@baja-designs.au / webenquiry@stottind.com.au for those in the sun...

Looks like Agile OffRoad is using them on their Grenadier Build. I believe he is using 285/75-17's along with the Eibach Lift springs. Anyway, point I was going to make, is that is is probably more realistic to compare the tire's weight to the KM3 MT than the KO2 AT... BFG KO3 MT in 275/75-17...

Oi vey - 12.5”???? A 285/75/17 is only 11.2” - I think that’s what Ronny Dahl was using and he got some rubbing. 12.5 would be “a gentleman of prosperous carriage”

I like it. I thought about doing the springs upfront. I like a little bit of rake front to rear but not the 2” OEM. I wished I could just find a 1” coil spring spacer for the front.

Did you use a kit to install the LP4s or you just sorted it out on your own?

Leveled her out with the 1.7" Eibach springs in front. Replaced the stock Bfg's and steelies with 285/75/17 BFG Ko3's and Nomad Sahara wheels. Zero rubbing in any condition. I know I said I wasn't going to lift at all, but after finding the availability of the Teraflex High angle Rzeppa kit, I...

...is a fantastic group of people who will look after you well after you’ve driven your Grenadier home. I’ve never known a more dedicated dealer. As far as height, it is a tall vehicle so worth the careful measurement. I have the Leitner Roof Rack and 285/75/17 tires, making it just under 7 feet.

...ihn aber in der Firma. Mache ich nächste Woche. Ich war gestern auf der Northside-Messe Gut Basthorst. Ein Aussteller meint, dass man sogar 285/75/17 eingetragen bekommt, wenn man einen versierten Prüfer hat. Der Prüfer meiner Werkstatt hat das abgelehnt und auf eine notwendige...

...That was the most time that I have spent behind the wheel getting to know how the IG handles at long highway speeds. Eibach 30mm springs and 285/75/17 KO2 tires. Sane driving speeds are required as the wagon did become a handful to steer on twisty sections of Los Angeles freeways and...

285/75/17’s

I was able to fit 33x12.5R18 on the Rhino Outback with No Lift and No rubbing. The issue now is, the wheels are 8" wide and the minimum width for the tires is 8.5" wide and Discount Tire will not let this fly as it might pop the tires out. Is this concern legit or the tolerance too high with...

I ended up going with yokohama x-at and after a few decent trips with them, I have zero regrets. They have been great There are few pictures about on the forum I'm pretty sure, but heres 1 anyway

Do these wheels and tires fit the stock unit (no lift)?

@K1LL3M - What tyre did you end up going with? I'm also looking to upgrade to 285/75/R17 and have currently narrowed it down to either the Nitto Ridge Grapler or Falken Wildpeak R/T.

Thanks for your input. Ordered the Rims and Tires for a test fit. Hopefully we are Golden !!

Thank you! Yes that size will probably fit without rubbing. The width should be fine especially with that offset. Many have fit 285/75 on stock suspension which is not far off. If I was running a 33 though I would be running a thinner tire.

I came so close to buying one from Owl while I was there yesterday. I will wait and see how the new setup works/ rides. Eibach 30mm and BFG KO2 285/75/R17.

BFG KO2 285/75/R17 on factory spare holder. Just clears the small door. Plenty of clearance with the rear wiper.

Is anyone running BFG KO2 285/75/R17? Is an offset rear door carrier required for the spare? Edit: Stock 17” steel wheels Thanks. * Edit to update. The rear door just clears by a few millimeters with the factory spare mount. It (spare tire) also does not interfere with the rear wiper function.

I’m late on responding, but just to be clear the 70 and 75 in those measurements (I.e. 285/75/17) are percentages, not mm’s. The side wall height would be 285 x 75% = 213.75 mm. Also I don’t know of a 315/75/17 tire, the common size is a 315/70/17.

First, AWESOME member name 74CampySuperRecord!! (y) Our local dealer just installed the 30mm Eibach springs and BFG KO2 285/75/R17's on my rig. I also have the Fox stabilizer and stock steel wheels. I had concerns regarding anything above the 30mm height eventually causing front drive line...

I have an appointment set for Tuesday with Owl Vans to install a set of 30mm Eibach springs and 285/75/R17 KO2s on the stock steel wheels. Should I proceed or postpone? Should I consider adding an aftermarket stabilizer?

Get some video!

It was originally the limited availability of the 285/75/17. The more I thought about it, I wanted the slightly slimmer profile of the 10.5 tire. I like the 34” height for the ground clearance and the 10.5 width for the highway. Steps will be nice for you - mandatory for your wife!

...be key as I add a new bumper with bull bar and a winch as well as increased load with camping equipment and a 75lb yellow lab! I went with 285/75/17 BFG KO2's and the factory steel wheels. Looks great and the ride is only slightly stiffer than stock which is to be expected with the stiffer...

Have you mentioned whether or not a proper alignment has been done after the new/upgraded tires?

I’m getting a harsh vibration that I can feel in the steering wheel, seat and basically the whole car. It starts at 75 mph and then intensifies as I get to 80 and 85. It becomes very uncomfortable to drive at 80. I had my tires road forced balanced twice and they said that is not an issue. I...

Looks amazing!

Here you go. I think the 285/75 looks better but this is 100% better than stock. No lift here.

...despite +30mm Lift? I was hoping the 75mm wouldn't be a problem. I want wider and bigger wheels than the original ones, I was thinking about 285/75/R17, but then I saw that some people here also have 315/75/R17 tires. Yes, I know that there is a difference between the Eibach US and EU...

Hi, im letzten YouTube Video von Abenteuer4x4 haben sie gesagt, dass sie an einem Modul zur Tachoanpassung arbeiten. Es ging da um 285/75/17 Räder. Wann genau das Teil im Shop erhältlich ist, wurde nicht gesagt. Ggf einfach mal direkt dort nachfragen…

I just lifted mine with the Eibach lift, New 17" Reika bronze wheels, and Toyo AT3's - 285 75 17. No rubbing. I also added a 5th tire to the spare tire carrier. The door still opens fine with only about 1/4" to spare. The backup camera is slightly blocked with the larger tire, but not too...

Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac 285/75/17's. Great size and fit stock vehicle just fine. Oops, forgot to say the wheels are Method Race Wheels 703 Matte Black 17x7.5" 6x130", 50mm offset 4.75" Backspace, MR70377563550

Ich habe das Taubenreuther Fahrwerk und 285/70 R17 mit Eintragung in Fahrzeugschein ohne Tachoangleivhung

I think I saw someone saying there weren't a lot of AT tires in 285/75 R17, but its actually pretty common here in the U.S. These are some of what's available. Sorry to the ROW - I'm not going to convert to metric. A high speed rating doesn't mean you plan to drive that fast - it is (in part) a...

Thank you! Reika rambler R35 I believe. 17x8, et35 Toyo open country RT trail 285/75/r17 These tires are quiet in comparison to MT’s I’ve ran, probably better than the KO2’s These are the springs tha Eibach prototyped for the US market that are now available. Front 2.5”, rear 1.2” Rides great in...

Meine Erfahrung mit der Eintragung einer anderen Reifengröße: Ich hab das bei meinem Jeep gemacht, von 245/75 R17 auf 265/70 R70. Das ging damals problemlos: Bin mit den neuen Reifen zum TÜV, einmal auf die Bühne, Freigängigkeit überprüft (links/rechts einschlagen), Kotflügelüberdeckung...

Several boxes have shown up on my doorstep that will end up being part of the Grenny. I am hoping to get most of it here before I start the process. My undecided part is still the wheels. I want to stay with a 17-inch wheel and run 285 75 R17 tires so my question is what have people been having...

255/70* I think they look perfect.

Zero shaking - I haven't thought about the fuel economy. I'll check on the next tank! Tires are whatever INEOS mounted 255 60 R18? Or something like that? When they wear out I'm stuffing some 285/75 R18's under there. Why? I don't know - they look cooler . . .

I have already got the black rhino Yellowstone rims with Yokohama 295/70r17. Rims size are 17x8, 6/130, 84.1 bore, 38p but also available in 45p, and in 18s with the same specs. the rims are very strong, rated for 1500kg each.

I've checked out these wheels before. When I go to Black Rhino's website it says there's nothing compatible with Grenadier even this one. Where'd you purchase these?? DaBull is correct but these are nicer IMO. I'd put 275/70/18 as more than enough clearance for anything.

Hi MMICHAELS, Very nice looking! Looks like a Grenadier 17" alloy and a Grenadier 18" alloy got together and had a son. DaBull

Just bought 5 Black Rhino Yellowstone gunmetal I'll keep the steel rims laying around. When the first round of tires wears out maybe a 285/75 R18? I'm not forking out the cash for the INEOS Rims - geeeeeez. This felt in the right spirit?

...the specified size is the same. The tires in the Trailrecon video are Coopers while Brian from Goose Gear installed Toyos. Both tires are 285/75R17 but the Toyos are obviously bigger and would have rubbed if driven on the same trails. Yes the Grenadier in the video has taller springs but...

This video just dropped and shows a fieldmaster on the eibach springs and 285/75 with no rubbing issues. I think this will be a pretty common combination moving forward. View: https://youtu.be/RarHLicvfWM?si=mhwl4B-Ahs9ku3Vx

Be aware that the K02 in 34x10.5R17 is smaller than specified by BFG. The actual diameter when inflated is closer to 32.9" not the specified 33.5". I learned this the hard way after installing them on my brothers Jeep.

Slightly? I don't think there is an actual metric, at least nothing publicly shared outside BFG... Comparing a E rated 285/75/17 and the D rated 34x10.5R17 Section Width: 11.3" vs 10.5" Diameter: 33.9 vs 33.5 Max Load: 3195 vs 3085 Weight: 61.3 vs 54.6 Tread Depth: 15/32 vs 15/32

...some photos showing the wheels I'm going to order and what they will look like once fitted. I really like how they turned out. These are 285/75/17's so they rub right now at full lock. Can't wait for my springs to arrive so I can mount these! Here is a front profile shot to show the...

1992 all stock.

What tires and extra gear were you running? I average 12.8 mpg (13.44 mpg correcting for 5% taller tires) over 45k + miles with 285/75/LT16 KO2s, 2” OME lift, ARB front bumper and full length roof rack. Probably 5k miles of that I had an ARB RTT on the rack.

Thanks for the tip. I actually managed to get them for 20% off - and they actually got delivered yesterday. Thing is, my truck does not yet exist, but I figured the marked down price would be the lowest I'd find.

I can never remember who it was, but I remember he posted pics of the 295s clearing by a few mm.

I'm pretty sure someone already did 285/75 without the springs. With the springs I don't think it would be a problem. The rear door clearance may be an issue?

@Krabby I don't know if it was posted bit method is running 15% off rims for black Friday. @anand do you think 285/75 would work or would I be pushing my luck with the eibach lift?

265/70 in standard on the 17 inch rim, if you want to wider but do not want to change the speedo reading or reduce clearance a 285/65/17 will give you the same height. 265 to 285 is 20mm wider tire. A 285/75 is a higher overall by 3 cm or 1.5 cm higher ride height.

Ich fahre schon ewig BFG AT/TA 285/75 R16 122/119R auf dem Mercedes G. Bisher ging das ganz gut auch bei Schnee und Matsch. Aber immer mitVorsicht und nicht wie ein Go-Cart um die Kurven, das geht definitiv schief. Mein G ist mit 2,4 t auch fast so schwer wie der Grenadier.

yep, no problems. Could probably get 285/75/17 on the spare bracket but certainly no fouling of little door on my 285/70/17's

Hi Krabby, I like your idea of after market rims and new tire size choice. Please provide pictures when once you have them mounted on your soon to arrive Trial Master. I would also like to get your input and impressions on how they perform off road and on road and especially how the noise level...

...there. Right now I’m leaning towards Method wheels, maybe the 706. Not sure though. Without doing any price shopping and just hitting TireRack 5 method 706s, BFG 285/75/17 Km3, 5 new TMPS, mounted, balanced, and shipped for $3,300. Naturally I’ll shop around but that gives me a ballpark price.

Ko3 would be a no brainer (so would the ko2) if it was available in the 285/75. Be interesting in when they release that to world

...in that size here. 255/80s are basically a 33. Will be no problem fitting them like the 285/70s that I have seen others run, as for the 285/75 has also been used I have tried a 295/70 (trying to get at least 34" tall) and it works with out a problem. Even on the back door. But Ibwould prefer...

...as well. They are just a hair taller than the traditional 285/70/17s, but, as I'm sure is true with the 255/85/17(in comparison with a 285/75/17 or 305/70/17), they will fit with much less work due to their narrower tread width. They are also available in ATs (Falken Wildpeak A/T3W's are my...

285/75/17 or 285/70/17? Just asking as getting the 285/70/17 BFG's fitted tomo. KM3's where is this place with decent sized parking spaces!

I recall him mentioning the lift was only 30mm, with the other 30mm coming from the larger tyres.

Black sheep did 285/75/17 with a 60mm Eibach lift (only shocks and springs) and no further modifications. They developed an adaptor for the spare wheel to clear the rear small door. I’ve got a video on my YouTube detailing what they did. https://youtube.com/@KenyanGrenadier Subscribe, share...

likewise. MT on pre-order 285/70/17. I can't see the 285/75 option in BFG km3. was thinking about the 33/12.5/17

285/75-17 are 33.83 in/860mm

He said they were 285/75. If 17 inch wheels those would be closer to 34/35 inch tires.

aye that was what I was referring to. if his "285/75..." comment was correct then depending on rim size they are closer to 34's or 35's than 33's, if that makes sense.

In the video around the 2:30 mark, Thomas says they are 33's, and they look fantastic.

That Blacksheep vid. If those tyres are 285/75 then they are 33.83" on 17" rims or 34.83" if on 18's. I like the 2.5" lift and whatever size tyres those are.

Sweet as a nut! Re-paint or wrap? Guessing 285/70/17s on Method 702 bead grips too, 17" x 7.5", offset +50 EDIT: Looks like 285/75/17s

You sir are correct. Mea culpa. I just went back and looked at what I entered into the convert site and I used 285 75 17. The 75 makes it 33.8.

...+55mm. Going to a 17x8" + 40mm offset would net; 9mm MORE inner clearance at susp EXTEND an extra 21mm outboard towards fenderwell 285s look proper IMHO; I'm still stuck on 285/75/17 (34.1"dia). Going a bit more aggressive on the wheel though with another 10mm of poke. Thanks for the pics all!

Oil spec

...when he drove. Oil spec; most likely it'll need to meet/exceed BMW Longlife-17 FE+. 33" tires; 285/70/17, or 255/80/17? I think I found my 285/75/17s and different wheels last night, although 255/80/17 seem to weigh about 10lbs less per corner, which is quite a bit. @Otis Porsche asked about...

I dont think there will be a major issue when you have all 4 wheels a slightly bigger size. The problem will be having a spare a different size. That is likely to be a problem. I wouldn’t do it. If it doesn’t fit on door, Black Sheep Innovations is making an offset spare adapter mount which...

I would hope not. While my '03 G500 freaked out on twisty roads when I went from 265/60/18 (30.5"dia) to 285/75/16 (32.8"dia)--I literally had to learn to drive with 2 feet, left barely on the brake to tell the truck I was braking, right on the throttle to move the truck thru the corners--those...

Interesting. We only have the STT Pro here in the USA. Have a web link handy for the STT?

I once drove COOPER DISCOVERER STT (not "PRO") on my Toyota J 9 in the size 285/75/16. These MTs were great, EVEN IN WINTER (Snow and Ice) - that is not typical for MTs. So I think about - when I chance the wheel size - to take some nice MTs, perhaps the COOPERs. But you are right, in sand they...

Hybrid's for me to start in 285/70/17 (33.1" dia); https://tiresize.com/tires/Yokohama/Geolandar-X-AT-285-70R17.htm Then later maybe a large A/T in 285/75/17 (33.9" dia); https://tiresize.com/tires/Toyo/Open-Country-AT-III-285-75R17.htm

so how do you plan to use your Grenadier then?

Already know a company ready for this, where 37-38" tires would be standard and no need for re-gearing... :cool: For me, I'm looking to first go with 285/75/17 (33.9"-34.1"dia); https://tiresize.com/tiresizes/285-75R17.htm

...Or even 295/70/17 Cooper ST MAXX 295/70/17 st maxx Professional Off-road Racing :p 5.0% bigger 21mm bigger all around will they fit 295 Or even 285/75/17 Cooper ST MAXX maybe too big without modding. I've run these Coopers before; better off-road in mud than BFG KO2 AT in my...

This is my thinking too. Normally aspirated vehicles loose as much as 30% of their power at 10k feet while a turbo charged vehicle like the Grenadier should maintain a good chuck of its efficiency (assuming the turbo is sized correctly). So the difference should be bigger. Someone mentioned...

...into the car without a problem. (Maybe only 60 cm when full of load.) And it looks higher, that is true - not only because of Old Men Emu and 285/75-16! So I ordered the IG without steps, and even without sliders. In the past I didn´t drive such heavy tracks in the mountains - and when you...

Go your way, and have fun! That sums it up but be careful...respect choice and happy motoring

I like the Southafrica-Videos with the 35´´ tyres, I love the new Namibia-Videos from INEOS with the 35´´ tyres. But I also heard that it wasn´t easy to put them under the car... Have you allready seen the Youtube-Video of a new Defender Oneten on 37´´ tyres - and the car is still rolling...

...smaller but still skinny tire, BFG makes a 34” metric equivalent, or at least did a couple years ago, in the KM3. Here is the same Jeep on 285/75-17 KM2s. Fit the Jeep with a mild (2”) lift, but benefitted from flat fenders which I installed a couple weeks after getting these tires:  ...

I'm a fan of Cooper Tires in general; nice to hear that you have had a good experience with the Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT. This is how Cooper describes the tire, for anyone who is interested: The Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT "...is an all-terrain tire built to haul heavy loads and withstand...

My current favorite tire is the Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT.  It's available in 285/75-17, measuring 33.82x11.5 on an 8" wide wheel.  Old rule of thumb is that for each 1/2" of rim width, you can add/subtract 0.2" of section width, so on the 17x7.5" wheels shown on the prototype tour, that's more...

Ill keep you posted on my Wheel/tire choice when I get mine (hopefully this autumn)   , as we sound to have a similar idea. I think BRAID wheels would be my 1st choice, as a good mate of mine is a dealer for them. They can make any size and stud pattern you want, are strong as anything, and look...

...My plan is probably steelies and KO2s, run them for a while.  Then maybe look into some aftermarket wheels (Method, FN, ?) and bump up to a 285/75-17 (33.8" tall) in my favorite Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT.  Or maybe stick with the steelies. I just can't wait to get my hands on a Grenadier. ...
