Thanks @bradb622! Good to know on the trail performance and looks are an important factor, no doubt. I believe the 17” alloys are the same offset as the steelies at +55mm. Might be the difference of 17x8” (alloy) vs 17x7.5” (steel). So should approximately come out in the wash on “installed”...

I can confirm no rubbing on BFG KO3 (E rated) 285/75/r17 without a lift on stock alloy (don’t have the steelies) on basic mountain off road trails. Also, not the most important thing, but they look great.

Has anyone confirmed fit and no rubbing with the BFG 285/75R17 size and stock steelies (+no lift)? I’ve seen these on a couple trucks but they had 0 offset wheels. Purportedly no rubbing when loaded & off-road.

...albeit in a separate incident. This brings the count of windscreen strikes to four. We took the opportunity to swap the 285/70 KO2s for 285/75 KO3s before departing. Very happy so far, new boots notably quieter on road, and feel a bit better in the wet. Yet to test them out off road...

Lowest point. Eibach 30mm lift springs and BFG K02 (285/75/R17)

...America we’re about to move to the KO3s with a view to improved wet weather on road performance and longevity. Also moving up from 285/70 to 285/75 anticipating occasional jungle mud. Sticking with the BFGs, I reckon if we were doing something more like your itinerary with a trailer I’d be...

Looks great! I just put the owl step sliders on. I really like the look of the rack, wondering how you clean under it?

Nimbus is on my wish list, combined with a modest lift, but a lot more research required before I take the plunge. Great to see how quickly the market is growing in way of mod's for this vehicle.

...we tow a 5500 lb trailer from time to time and I have concerns about safety. My current thinking is to go with a front steering stabilizer, 285/75/17 BFG's and at least a 1.7" lift on Eibach springs, or maybe 2.5" if I can live with the added risk of wear and tear to the front driveshaft...

I am keen for the 285/75/17 KO2 and my tyre people have told me that they are taller than the Australia Standards and won't fit them...I know, where there's a will there's a way...The government in this case is splitting hairs...12mm taller so halve that... I just love the look as much as the...

Nice buzz sliders. I just installed a set a couple weeks ago and they are nice to have. Makes getting in so much easier.

Same here. Interested in upsizing tires to gain a bit of axle ground clearance but would rather not lift if I don’t need to.

They are, no lift. Debating putting in the donuts I have or getting the 1.2” eibach lift springs on front.

Looks great! Are these BFG HD-Terrain in 285-75/17 - with or without lift? I have 17" steel and KO2 at the moment. I'm considering Agile Offroad Rims and bigger tires but don't want to lift - at the moment (I'm open to lift in subsequent modifications).

Just got BFG HD-Terrain in 285-75/17. Similar tread pattern to MT... I'd just google them for more info, a tire expert I am not. Pretty quiet (it's only a couple days since mounted, full disclosure), maybe a tad more than KO2's. On road feels better than KO2's. We shall see.

Hi All, I'm looking for a little advice if you'd be so kind. I've narrowed down the choice to the following (see below) but I'd love to hear your thoughts, especially if you've got a lot of experience with the tyres below. Honest pros and cons. We're looking for: A good all-rounder All...

Pics of the new wheel/tire combo?

... no Cost Co. Run at 36/38psi at ambient or whatever road comfort you desire (below 34psi on asphalt will lead to eventual uneven wear on these larger format rubbers). I have discussed this one before with the guys at Bob Janes. This is general advice only.

I just switched out the 255-70-18 KO2s that I got with my rig for 285/75-17 HD-Terrains on AO XT rims. Got rubber at Costco and had them swap the original TPMS into the new tires in same position. Worked well. The nonsense part, maybe; they said since they are E load range while originals were D...

...of nowhere Nevada. On his way to go Overlanding on his free time. So then I get real excited and go full on fan girl for a few minutes. Because we had already decided on Owl roof rack and Rock sliders. So this just felt preordained. Next we are going to get some 285/75/R17 Goodyear DuraTracs.

Take a look at the 255/85/17 Mickey Thompson 34.6” E rated and I can confirm no rubbing under any conditions. The Kenda 35x10.5 (34.8”) is also supposed to fit without rubbing.

The 70’s are 32.8” and the 75 is 33.8. So basically a 33 vs a 34. The factory BFG’s are E rated and weigh-in at 56lbs vs the C rated 70 at 57 and the E rated at 61-63lbs each. I personally would go with the E rated for the 10 ply construction and higher load capacity. I am likely going to go...

For BFG 285/70&75 R17 KO3s I see three versions. 70 Black wall C weight 70 White text E weight 75 White text E weight Am I right that the white text side can be turned inside for a Black wall tire look? For the weight load difference, what is the impact for a Grenadier? I have a Doney Gray...

...diameter and a width of 10.43" If I go to a 285/70 R17 that would put the overall diameter at 32.71" and a width of 11.22" If I go to a 285/75 R17 that would put the overall diameter at 33.83" and a width of 11.22" For you wheels & tire guys out there, would both size upgrades fit without...

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.
