I bought some 315 70 17 for my Commander. I wonder if it was a bad idea. They do rub but I can live with it. The jeep is up high now, I love it. https://theultimatejeep.com/images/imported/2011/05/photo8-1.jpg

Wow really? What lift are you running? Also I see you have no fenders so you havent done trimming but have you bent the pinch weld?
I think 35's

Are those the bfg at's??

My friend had a set of 315/70/17 bfg at's and they were the same height as my 33x12.5x17 PJ dirt grips. The bfg's are known to run on the "small" side. Doing the straight up conversion: 315/70/17 = 34.3x12.4 (so more like a 34x12.5)

Regardless, the XK is looking good!!!

Awesome, I always like seeing pictures of your XK. What sliders do you have installed?

Yes they are the BFG's AT KO's, the sliders are from a shop here in Phoenix, Articulated Motion. Took out plastic piece and they go out 6 inches with an angle, the door misses the sliders by like 1.5 cm.

I figure as much you had them custom made. :( I guess I have no choice but to have some fabbed up. Nothing out there really seems to fit my needs. Did you consider the 4xguard rails? if so I would like to hear you opinion on why you didn't get those. Also could post close ups of your rails especially the way they mount?

Looks good, from the looks of your sliders I see you use your commander. :) Where can I find your trail pics?

so with tires that large, what about the rears hitting in the rear on hard up travel? I know with my 295/70/17's I've jammed the into the flares and plastic rockers(that's why I removed them). Waiting foe Rusty's to sell their new lower control arms before I get larger tires. Anyway they look great. Your XK is awsome. I also would like to see a close up of your rock rails.

Wow! It's looking like a ''real'' Jeep now. (According to the highbrow standards of Wrangler owners)

I like the aggressive looking winch setup too, and the chopped off front bodywork adds to the look.
