New BFG T/A KO2

[LekRap]

Just got 37" KO2's installed and couldn't be happier. What people say about 37's looking like the truck was made to have 37's is true once you see it! Really enhances the look of the truck. I have Method NV's (zero offset) and am at about mid perch height. From the little driving I did, there is very minimal rubbing that I believe will be remedied by some trimming. Very very happy with them!

Update: went to SVC and they hammered my pinch welds for me. Now have ZERO rubbing on the road. I need to test out off-road but I am confident that for my needs, I'll be good. I had previously trimmed the fender flares towards the rear also. I think with this combo people would be safe unless you are jumping the truck.

What wheels are you running? Do they rub?

Kmc wheels +18 offset , and yes they do rub just before the steering locks ,

From what I've seen so far, it looks like BFG is not even making the stock size. At least not yet. I've seen a few on the forum go with the 35's (one 37's) with no issues (I believe the 37's req minor trimming/mods). I'm headed to the OBX July 4th week, hoping I can get em before I head down.

I wanna set of 37's but keep the stock wheels. Maybe sooner than later.

I wonder if I could squeeze them in with the stock wheels, do you get any rubbing on compression?

Not sure why you can get KO2's in just about any size but the size for Raptor OEM rims.

Is there another size that technically could fit the stock rims? If not, what size rims would be close enough in size to the stock rims, but could accommodate the next closest size of KO2s? I don't want to go any bigger because my Raptor just squeezes into my garage with only 1/4" clearance from the roof.

Is that when they are saying the KO2's will be available for Raptor OEM rims? I can wait for that, if true. But I'll believe it when I see it (or have them on my truck).

That is what BFG website is saying. I'm gonna make a few calls myself to a few tire places today.

Since the beginning of the year, I've sent a few emails to BFG to inquire about availability. Each time they have given a date and been wrong. The most recent response (on 9/1/15) they didn't even pretend to give a date:

"John, we apologize the All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires are not available for retailers to order at the moment. You can always check back in to see if the tires have become available."

I agree, BFG release dates don't seem to ever hold any weight. You know that the difference between 35x12.50x17 and 315/70/17's are extremely minimal. I know you said that in your situation with fitting in your garage, you're within 1/4"...but I don't think BFG is going to be in a rush to release the 315's because 95% of raptor owners can just get the 35's and call it a day.
