Another question about what tire will fit

Ok Ive done some searching but can find an answer. Heres what I got I've got a 13 fx4 with a 1.5 inch auto spring level. Whats the biggest tire that should fit with little to no trimming? The other thing is Im torn between either the dura trax Ive had a set of these and loved them. Im also very interested in the tko 2 any feed back would help, thanks for reading.

Well it seems the 09 + trucks don't need as much lift up front to level out, 2" vs 2.5 for the 04-08 like mine. You could probably get away with something around a 33", maybe just a touch taller. I just recently put a set of 305/65r18 KO2s on my 05 and love them, the ride is amazing and super quiet and mileage is improved over the mickey Thompson atzs I had prior. I did have to trim my fender flares just a touch, as well as the valance on my front bumper but it was minimal and only took a few minutes.


It's tight, but it clears. At least on pavement

Thanks for the info. I think I'm going to go with 275/65/20 dura trax but am still really interested in the new bfg's.

I had an AS 1.5" level and with minor trimming fit nitto trail graps 295/60/20 (34.4") on a +18 offset rim. I believe while doing research I came across a guy with the same size on stock rims. I have since changed to an adjustable coil-over assembly that is set at about 2.25" lift and that gave me a little more room for comfort.

Not that it matters much, but 04-05's need the 2.5. 06-08 only need the 2" and have less rake and have a stance similar to the 2009+
