Non-Sas Badlands with Optional Wheels (Max Tire Size?)

[TyGuy40]

I read the chart at the top of this forum, which had an amazing. breakdown of tire sizes, and what you'd need to modify to install 33s, 35s, 37s, etc.

My question is does anyone have the optional wheel upgrade on the badlands, with 35s? Non-Sas. Curious if I can slap on some 35 KO2s without having any problems. Some people have told me I need spacers or a slight CO lift, but curious if this can be done with just a level kit, or with nothing at all.

And perhaps how it effects the drive.

Much thanks.

315 KO2’s, no lift, no spacers. Rides a little better than the 285’s

Does it rub?

Barely… not noticeable

Do you notice a big MPG drop? Also, does it rub full flex with the sway bar disconnected?

Did you ever install your optional wheels? How did it work out? I bought a used set and will swap them on with my first tire change for the sasquatch wheels. It will be a while since I only have 26,000 miles on mine and do a 5 wheel rotation. I may go to a 35x11.5x17 to remedy the rub issue.
