Building a Coyote Luber (build thread starting soon) and attempting to use new BFG A/T KO2 tire size: 34x10.5x17. Actually only measure 33.4" tall. Using an ATX Artillery wheel 17x9 with 4.5" backspace. It's looking like it's going to fit - 2.5" suspension lift and 2" body lift. Will probably move axle back 1". May have to roll the fender, but hoping not to. Stay tuned. The 285/70/17 wouldn't fit - but it's over 11" wide.

I can't wait to see someone personally putting a coyote in. You should start the thread! I am really excited to see the ecoboost build by bcbroncos.

I think the 34x10.5x17 will fit great. No way to fit 285/70-17 without narrowing the axle or custom backspaced wheels. You need to narrow an inch or 5.5 BS.

Promise I will start the thread soon. Just need to find more time in the day. I think the Ecoboost will be cool as well - just don't want to wait for the kinks to be worked out. Same goes with the 6r80 tranny. I'm going with a 4r70w, but Jason at BC said the 6r80 could be swapped in the future once the kinks get worked out.

235LT 85R/16 - 16 in. x 7 in., 5 x 5.5 in. Bolt Circle, 4 in. Backspace.

hey Delta, I'm running BFG KM2s 235LT 85R/16 and my wheels are – Cragar Wheel, Soft 8, Steel, Black, 16 in. x 7 in., 5 x 5.5 in. Bolt Circle, 4 in. Backspace. The lift is WHs 1”Body lift, andWH’s 2.5 Suspension. Not exactly what your thinking but I'm over in Durham and off for the holidays and can ride up that way you can see. It's a little hard to see in my pic,,,,I'm sorta wanting to run a little wider tire but I want to avoid any rubbing. trekgurl

Delta the tires are off Ebay Tire rack 2 different auctions, and the set of 5 matching slots were a heavy trade. I swapped they for a set of BC Broncos First run rear quarter panels, the ones that actually fit. I was in on the initial investment to make the dies back in the day. I was saving them, but my build went a different direction and the slot where exactly what I needed. These are early as I actually had to flap wheel the bigger t-bird calipers that I am using, as these where for drum brakes.

These are 34x10.5x17 with 5" backspace, 3 1/2" suspension and 1" body lift, rear axle moved back 1". Barely rubbed the corners at the rear openings a few times when wheeling in Moab. If I rolled those edges it would be perfect.

The slots i have are too wide. Im going to follow everyones advice and go with a 8" wide wheel and a 10" tire.
