Has anyone put them on a 2014 limited yet? It looks like 285 55 20 will fit with rubbing. Tire rack has them at 330$ a tire. Any help would be great.
Anyone got a pic of BFG KO2 275/70R17 on your 4R without lift?

A buddy at work commented that he normally doesn't even bother to look at wheels and tires since everybody's got something lifted out here in the desert, but he couldn't help noticing my new tires this morning and was impressed. I told him to wait till he sees the Gobi coming my way!

The interesting part is these 275s are smaller than the GY DT 265s
I swapped out the stock 20" rims on my LE for a set of TE rims and BFG KO2 275/70R70 KO2s. It was a hard decision to make as I like the 20" rims but I wanted the taller sidewalls. The initial report of the 275/75s with no lift is positive. There is very very minor rubbing on the driver side front with wheels locked driver side toe-in, but nothing on the passenger side front. The rubbing is not enough to hear, but you can see where the tire touches the front fender lining while turning. I can move the liner forward, but to be honest, it's not even a concern since it's barely touching. Also, I will get my lift next week so it may not even be an issue. With the radio off, you can hear slightly more road noise than stock but nothing to bother me and obviously expected due to the more aggressive thread pattern. I drove the car at 85 miles an hour on the freeway and there is no vibration whatsoever. Overall I am pleased with the tire choice.
Pictures are below. In the after picture, you will notice a slight sag in the back, partially due to the surface of the parking lot and also because I have the 4 old rims/tires inside (plus the 3rd row). In the before picture, I have the new tires in the back so that is not stock height either.

I used TIREBUYER.com excellent customer service, good discount, return policy seems to be ok. Disclaimer i don't have any affiliations.
Crazy... 275s on Pro rims.... I rub a bit on the rear mud flap....
The roads over here are horrible but the tires soak up the bumps. The roads are also very narrow and off camber and these tires make me feel more confident than the stock tires.
In the rain they work great. I haven't felt any noticeable under steer when going through wet roundabouts at a brisk pace.
They do feel heavier and acceleration is deminished a little but it's not too bad.
I haven't had a chance to take them off-road yet but I plan to once I get back.
