I have the rockstars with 285/70/17 KM2s. A couple of things. You will scratch them and the alloy will show through if its deep enough. That said, that's what flat black touch up paint is for. Second, you need to take the stars off when you go offroad. In the 17" model with the offset needed to get them under the flares, the star sits proud of the tyre. I haven't tried, but I imagine you'd lose them pretty easy. I have an offset of +25 (I'm pretty sure) and the KM2s sit bang on the guards. This is not a common size that I have seen. Stu got them in for me - at a price cheaper than anywhere else I have seen - and they can be super exxy.

I just checked. The offset is 35 not 25...

I have the AEV 2.5"lift and everything clears when all flexed up. Although I had to swap the ARB disconnects over for the JKS ones.

Thanks for all the fast responses and pictures. It now gives me an idea what to look for. I might go with the Procomp 98 series now > they look more durable, and i'll hopefully save a bit of cash

4.5 inch back spacing so you will get about 10mm tread out on one side with a 2inch lift and stock track bar. Landed in NZ cost me about NZ$1500 for 5. Being steel they are not light but running stock tyre carrier with only a little rattle so far

I still get amazed at how much we get charged for stuff here in AU.

Bought these in the US, free shipping to the freight depot over there, $35 ea to send to AU and 10% GST when they arrive.

Given they were less than $140 ea, I'm way in front!!!!
