I'm running a set of 315/70R17 Coopers on stock rims with a 2" leveling kit. They rub on the control arms at full lock. My true speed is 5 mph faster than speedo indicates.

I'm running the Kore HP kit on mine with 35's no rub on anything. Like said mine was 3 to 5 off. I just reprogramed it with my Smarty and was good to go.

I am running the bfg km2 and love them. the last set of BMG km1 i had 45k miles out of with no trouble. I added the 2" leveling kit and hate it by the way no real rubbing issuses but the roughest ride I have ever rode in. I am upgrading to a Carli suspension lift. If you do with a Leveling kit go with the ones that have shockes or shock ext. added well wroth the extra money.
