New Tires - BFG KO2s 285/55/20

Just put on some new BFG KO2s on my 2015 G63. Only modification is 31mm H&R spacers. No lift. No rubbing at full turn but very close.

Old setup:
OEM Yokohama Advan 275/50/20 tires
Stock AMG 20 inch rims
31mm H&R spacers

New setup:
BFG KO2 285/55/20 tires
Stock AMG 20 inch rims
31mm H&R spacers

Maybe time for some off-roading now...

What do you guys think?

Looks Great! May have to do the same. Did you replace the spare tire as well and does that size fit inside the cover?

Thanks! I did not replace the spare tire. I'm certain this tire would not fit inside the spare tire cover.

I bought the spacers a while ago on a different website for a little cheaper, around $200 for a pair. You can also go to gwagenparts.com but they have them for $249 a pair.

No lift on the car - suspension is stock. When I look at the wheel well liner on the back side I can see the tiniest trace of a rub from the tire probably from full turn but it doesn't bother me and hasn't been noticed at all while driving. So far I've been very pleased with these tires- no complaints!
