To add my experience (which I posted on the "No Lift Tire Guide..." sticky), I installed 25mm H&R spacers on the stock 5098 5 spoke 20" wheels with 275/55R20 Nitto Terra Grapplers. The Nitro's rub ever so slightly at access height, full wheel lock, in reverse. Comparing the pictures of Nitro Terra Grappler's to the KO2s seems to show the KO2 has a more squared transition from sidewall to tread which I assume (possibly wrongly) would cause even more rubbing than the Nitro's. How much? Hard to say.
Also, the wheel studs did not have to be ground when installing 25mm H&R spacers with the 20" 5098 wheel.
That's all I got

Did you try them with no spacer first? Everyone assumes that a spacer is always the answer in these scenarios but depending exactly where the rubbing occurs, spacers can exacerbate your problems. Different tires of the 'same' size can have vastly different shoulder profiles and slightly different section width, and I agree that K02s tend to be pretty 'square' at the shoulder.

Again, it might sound senseless but the main purpose of my eagerness to install the spacers to current wheel/tire set up is not the rubbing (which as stated earlier does not occur at all) it comes from an ambition/preference to make the truck visually slightly wider (which apparently will contribute to more aggressive appearance).

This forum is getting snowflakey. Good Lord, you can't take a simple 'd-bag' in stride? Or was it 'stance bro'? You and I could never drink some bourbon together apparently, 'cause it would get way worse than that at some point. You want to fit spacers to your Defender in order to look 'cool'. That is indisputably douchey. Come at me, bro.
