315/70/17

[RobP]

I'd like to get a set of 315/70/17 KO3s and I'm wondering if they'll fit using just the Shadowmarq front leveling kit which I believe is around a 1.3" lift. I'd prefer to keep my OEM suspension. I'm running 285/70/17 KO2s right now and have the Agile Overlander XTs which has a 32mm offset and there's plenty of clearance. I don't use mine on the trails so I'm not worried if it might rub off-road, this is a daily driver. I know I could go with 285/75/17, but I'd prefer to go with the 315s if possible. I understand that I'd also need the spare tire relocation bracket as well for a tire this size. I've read through the largest tire/no lift thread but didn't find the answer.
Thoughts?

305s rub even with that wheel offset without the lift. I don't know if the 1.3 will get you there. Id just do the 1.7 eibach kit with 1.3 in the back and that will work. The look is greatly improved with the wider tire but it will drive differently too. Ive found the wider tires follow the road crown much more.

I can answer that one! As an experiment, I ran all 3 heights recently (1.2", 1.7" and 2.5" front springs) on 315/70/17 Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT's on Agile Offroad Overlander XT wheels. Only the 2.5 inch do not rub up front. You will also need the spare tire relocation bracket.

I have what's pictured there and the LRA tank and drawers. So I'm carrying some extra weight.

I love the way it drives now aside from wishing I had more dampening in the Kings, but that can be fixed!

Currently on Eibach 2.5" front, 500# rears with 1" Metal Cloak Spacers and King Shocks.

Thats a sweet looking rig there my man. Have you tried the metal cloak track bars? I think they do wonders on the lifts.

Great looking gren! Thanks for the info. I already ordered the eibach 1.7/1.2 springs and the tire relocation bracket. Were you rubbing with this setup on-road , off-road, or both?
