35" Tires on Stock wheels

[finallyajeep]

Has anyone put a pair of 35" x 12.5 KO2 on stock Overland wheels? Do you have any rubbing on control arms?

You can definitely put them on stock overland wheels. I don't have the overland wheels but I my 17x7.5 stock wheels had zero rubbing sitting stock other than a small portion of the bumper that I trimmed off. I'm running 315 70 17 BFg KO2s which is pretty much the same as a 35x12.5 17

I have the exact same recipe KO2's, and my favorite 4x4 shop saved me $30/tire by selling me metric 35's that are .1" narrower on the spec sheet than the flotation 35's. Incidentally, those are/were the OEM fitment on Hummer H2's and Raptor's, except we use Load range C on the JT's.

The same tire stores that "refuse" to install 12.5" tires on 7.5" rims are the same ones selling 31" tires on 20" rims.

I have heard mixed things on the forum about those tires on the stock wheels. Did you have any issues finding a shop to mount/balance them?

On my Overland I run those tires on 17x7.5 wheels, and yes they do rub the control arms at full lock. My driving habits quickly changed so I stop at 95% full lock and no more rubbing

No, I have never had a issue finding a shop. I've used Sears the past 3 sets and they mount them and warranty them. They have the best price on them around my area.

I just got 35x12.5 on stock Mojave wheels. Really nice fitment. Americas tires says they are certified for 7.5 wide wheels. Some other sites say 8.
