I'm looking at KO2s specifically but I'm trying to justify if I want the wider bulge and slightly taller tire of the 305/55 vs the 285/55. I have a 2013 FX4 with black FX rims and looking for any side view shots of either size so I can get an idea of what it will look like on an 8.5in rim. Anyone with pics? I've been searching just about anything I can think of on here and google. Got a few examples but just looking for more.

your not going to get "bulge" with a 55 tall tire.. the 305 will be about 12" wide. 285/65/20 would be a good choice.

Maybe bulge was a bad choice but the 305 will have about a .3" larger section width than the 285 on the stock 8.5" rim. So if you call it a bulge or not it will stick out further than the rim than the 285.

You might get a little rubbing at full turn with the 305's, the 285's that techrep suggested worked well for me.

LT305x55x20 Nitto Terragrapplers that I had on my '11 Lariat...no rubbing but real close on the inside to the upper control arm. (33.2x12.6x20)

Thanks PawPaw. That looks really nice.

Anybody running 285/55/20 on stock wheels thinking of doing those with a 1.5 leveling kit on my new 2016

I just added 285/55/20 KO2s on stock FX rims. These are D load range and about 5lbs lighter than the 305/55 and 285/65 which are E load. Very happy with the look and ride.
