It also depends on wheel back spacing.  Mine is spaced out to where the tires are even with the fenders not tucked in.  If you go for a more tucked in look you may experience rubbing.  I how ever am going to probably look at different brand of tires even though I love how quiet the KO2`s are and how smooth the ride is.  I just hate how knobby the shoulders are that now has me rubbing at almost full lock which I never had before with the KO1`s I had.

Rusty, I should have looked up Coker’s more recently. I had the rounded military tires in mind.

It looks like they have more of a “flat” almost AT style tire nowadays.

I might end up getting a set of these tall boys. Perfect fit for the 15x5.5’s in 30”

Yep Coker has a bunch of tire styles out there.  They got their new Bias Look Radials that I will be running on my 56.  They are a through and through radial tire from the ground up but they are designed to mimic the bias ply narrow tread wide cross section design.

Before I settle on a tire I need to pull a wheel and measure. The hub caps may be original but I’m not sure about the size of these steelies
