Anyone placed BF Goodrich Ko2 tires on OuterBanks?

Trying to keep the 18 inch rims but that sounds like a plan also. Have any pics

Yes... Waiting on Sas flares but the wheels and tires are mounted. Plus RC spare spacer and reinforcement kit.

These are Toyo AT3 285/70r17s. On KMC Roswell rims, zero offset.

Looks great. I also ordered the bush guard.

Was it expensive ?

Was it expensive ?

Tires - Toyo AT3 285/70 r17: $260 X 5 = $1300 (Local tire place)
Wheels = KMC Roswell 17": $266 x 5 = $1330 (Tirerack.com)
Install and balance 4 tires and wheels = $325.00
Spare Tire stowage: RC Reinforcement and relocation bracket = $200 (Rough Country)
Install RC kit and mount spare tire on spare wheel = $125.00

Ford Sasquatch Fender Flares = $400.00 (Lasco Ford)

Total = $3680.00.

Conclusion - I didn't want the giant 315 tires on the SAS and would never use the upgraded suspension, this is a street Bronco (95% anyway). Had I known the tires mounted on the OBX were skinny I would have likely gone in for a Badlands or Black Diamond, as I was looking for the chunky, serious look (on the configurator the OBX standard tires look chunky, and no I was not familiar with tire sizes etc to notice that they were 255s, or to know what that meant). I wish I knew better then, would have ordered a loaded BD or Badlands with their 285/70 r17s. But I am very happy with the Bronco, and it is still far less expensive (and a lot more fun) than the Range Rover Sport and the Audi Q8 I had prior. Moral of the story - if you are shopping for a new Bronco, look at photos of these trucks IRL (better yet see them in person) to see what the different wheels and tire packages look like to make sure you like how they look. The stance, tire and wheel size make a big difference in the overall look of these vehicles. Also remember when you go for new wheels, you need *five* not four wheels and tires.

Hope this helps people.

I plan on using stock wheels and going with KO2 275/70/18. There shouldn't be any modifications.

I think K02 in that size is E load rated, it is likely going to ride a lot harsher then stock

Would love to see a pic if you go that way!

What was the reasoning for the reinforcement and relocation bracket?

I actually asked a couple of people with this exact tire and they could not tell any difference in pavement ride.

I've been doing so much research on tires. I have pics saved on my computer of others' Broncos. My build date is next month.

Beautiful! What size tires? Any lift?

2"lift from 4wp and 285/65s

Love it. Haven't seen this size mentioned before. I see it's a little shorter but wider. Does it fit without lift?

Seemed like a good idea. Have heard Jeep people have issues with sagging tailgates when they mount much larger and heavier tires to the tailgate mount.

I want to keep stock wheels and change tire size. I’m considering Firestone Destination or the KO2s. Uncertain on size. 265/60/18R or next size up to the 270/75’s??
