Here's when I put those wheels/tires on Seans XK (including a set of 1/4" strut spacers) in a dunkin parking lot.
I think the wheel width/backspace helps the look

I just checked...I don't think it'll look too small. I agree with Matt and when I get spacers, it'll look better. Plus the aggressive tread will help also.

I wish I could be the first, but I'm fairly confident I'm going with 245/70s! A test fit would be your best option. I did get into contact with a guy that has 245/75r17 Goodyear Authorities on 2 inch BB and he said when he wasn't running spacers, it rubbed a bit on the sway bar. I bet you could fit them without much trouble at stock height, but I just want to get the new tires and be done with it!

been doing some more searching- i think 255/70s would look legit with this setup as well.

I've seen that size on a stock WK and it looks good. Unfortunately, Duratracs aren't available in that size.
Edit: 255/70r17 is 31.1" in diameter and 10" wide. 245/75r17 is 31.6" in diameter and 9.7" wide. 245/7r17 is 30.5" in diameter and also 9.7" wide.

i think theres plenty of room in the rear for a 31, even a 31.5. like i said right now with my daystar BB my front end is sitting at 20.5 and im running 255/80s, which is a 32" on my sahara 18" rim. that fills it out decently and doesnt rub with my 1/4" spacer. i dont think a 255/75 would fit or a 265/70 without a 1.25" spacer and some pinch weld work. im liking the idea or a 31" though.
