This is my Max Tow with 315 70 17 KO2s on it on stock wheels with it sitting at stock height.

Here is it with a 2.5" Readylift installed

No issues but mines a Max tow. The Same wheels on my buddies Overland resulted in him rubbing the lower control arms at full lock.
So I can put 315 70 17s on my stock JT Sport S? Despite what the Walmart tire guide says? That would be incredible. And I may have missed it, but would there be a speedo issue?

If it's a max tow yes if it's just a regular sport s then no you will need wheels with more backspacing or wheel spacers to keep from hitting the lower control arms. Mines Max Tow so I have the wide track axles on mine.

yes you can. You’ll lose about 3 degrees of turning radius but it’s fine if you know it’s gonna happen, just don’t lock it all the way out when pulling a u turn.
Speedo on my Willies was off by 7% afterwards but it hasn’t affected drive ability whatsoever (caveat is that mines a diesel though).
