34's on BigBend stock wheels

[parropski]

I swapped my stock 32' for 34' Open country AT3's (285/75r17).
I think they are a good middle ground between the stock badlands tires and the sasquatch set.
It was the only 34 I could find with load range "C". I had to remove the crash bars, no rubbing with the stock wheels. Really happy with the looks and performance.

Can you see the 3rd brake light good enough with this tire mounted on back without having to extend it higher?
this is the size tire i was planning on going with but someone just offered me their sas tires (only) for a good deal. so ill get the sas tires which are about a half inch taller and a inch wider then probably put a 1" or 2" level kit with it.. i havent decided.

The 3rd brake light fits with the 34s but any bigger and you will either cover/bend the light or need an extender. (there must be a cheap DIY solution)

Hey no problem, Another 2d BB owner went 35's on stock wheels. He needed spacers.

The higher the load range, the stronger the tire (more ply's) but they harsher the ride.
It depends in your intended use, but generally C ply is best for a vehicle like a bronco/wrangler. Tire is lighter and has a better ride quality.

No excessive noise compared to the stock ones.

Awesome! Can we get more pics?
I am planning on swapping the stock BD tires for this same size. I am planning on KO2s though.
Good to know they fit without any lift or level.

I couldn't find KO2s on this size with load range C but maybe I missed them.
Here are some more pics of the brake light and the minimum poke on the flares.


Im sure 34" is the limit for the stock brake light.

Very nice!!! I'm still debating if I will run these or Toyo AT3s in 35x11.5x17.

Oh man it is beautiful! This confirms it for me. This is the size!
Yea I am having a hard time finding them also. Tirerack said they should have them in stock in march. I found some on eBay also.

thanks for sharing this, i think this is the setup for me -
just wondering, the wheels are 18 inch, correct?
any more pics from front, rear and side from a distance enough to see the whole vehicle (both wheels at the same time) would be awesome!

This may give you a few more options.

Did you have to remove crash bars?

Did you have to remove crash bars?

My guess would be yes seeing how it is in the OP's first post..........
