Nice wheels! Well done, look really good with the whole set-up.

I am fitting 275/55R20 on 9" aftermarket wheels next week, anyone with this set-up need a spacer or anything to mount the rear tire on the back door?

This may be a stupid question but the wheels and tires are wider than stock so just making sure I have all the parts I need. Would appreciate any feedback, thank you.

Really depends on the offset of the wheel. I'm guessing it's going to be lower than the factory wheel? If so, you'll probably be fine.

Ah good point, offset is +35. Thanks.

Default Verdict BFG KO2 275/55/20 No lift/spacers

I’ve had them on for 3 weeks now no lift or spacers. Keep in mind I do have the classic mudflaps on.

+ absolutely no rubbing
+ off road capability
+ they look much cooler
- road noise is very noticeable unfortunately but you won’t feel it with music on (keep in mind I’m at 34psi at the front and 38 at the rear) - I had the OEM GY AT Wrangler prior to this and there’s a noticeable difference
- the car does feel heavier. To reach or maintain a certain speed it feels like it’s having to work harder (higher RPMs). Keep in mind I have the P400.

Great post - thanks for sharing!

I'm strongly leaning towards making this change (same P400), but I'm not quite ready to pull the trigger. I'm planning a road trip out to Badlands National Park in a few months and while I'm not going to be doing crazy off-roading, I'd still feel a lot better with something better than the stock Goodyear Wranglers (mostly if it happens to have even a little mud). I'd almost rather wait to get some more use out of the Wranglers, but one way or another they'll go for something better before next winter.

Wheels Monotube-Projekt 9"x20" tyres Bf Goodrich All-Terain TA KO2



What do you think? All right, they fit without abrasion in this dimension.
Conversely, the dimension we removed, the 265/60 R20, had friction at all heights.

I’d recommend keeping the Wranglers for the road-trip especially for a long drive they’re more comfortable and especially that if the terrain isn’t super rough or muddy you’ll be fine with the wranglers.

Hi Everyone,
I have a Defender 2020 110 HSE with 20" wheels and I'm looking for an upgrade for my tires.

Has anyone had an experience with the Falken WildPeak?
My buddy recently purchased a Jeep Gladiator Mojave that came with the Falken WildPeak. They look good and he has been pretty happy with them. They are currently #1 on Tirerack.com for A/T tires but I don't know anyone who has any real experience with them.

I'm debating between General Grabber, Falken WildPeak and Ridge grapplers (Guest appearance by Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T &#128540. I know there is a lot of good information about the Grapplers but wanted to see if anyone has information on the other two (three).
I do 90% of my driving on road, less than half that on the freeway. My off roading is limited to challenging dirt roads (with some rocky passages) and light mud/snow/sand.

Thanks,
Roy
