Quick answer needed: will 35x12.5x17 BFG KO2's rub with factory wheels

[matt33]

I'm at the tire shop, and the guy working here cautioned me that true 35 inch ko2s will rub do to the width on my 2017 Ford Raptor with OEM beadlock wheels. Can anyone confirm? Should I stick with 315 70 17 size

There isn’t a lot of clearance, and particularly at the front on the ’17-’18. the Live valve trucks have a little more front end height. I’m not sure about the 35’ size tires, maybe someone else can offer input.

I had 35 70 17 Nitto Ridge Grappers on my 2018 and yes they rubbed. I did not want to lift/level my truck. I went back to 315 70 17.

Correction. I had the 35 12.5 17s on my 2018. Rubbed on mine and went back to stock size.

Will the 35-inch tires rub if the 2017 has a leveling kit installed?

That was about the be the narrowest tire I have ever seen on a truck!

I have 37” K02 tires on my 17” factory bead locks. No rubbing. I have Eibachs and Deavers (+1), and that may make a positive difference.

I know this is a bit of an old post but I really like the direction you are going. I recently bought a 2018 and it will need new tires before the winter. They are currently 315 70 R17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers but I dont like Nittos and the truck is leveled so I have been looking hard for the biggest tire I can run. Do you know how tall the tires are from ground to top and from ground to fender? I imagine my level is close to the same height as the springs you are running and this tire might fit my needs perfectly.
