285/75/16 KM2s
Finally got some 285s to go with my Toytec lift. Found a great deal on a set of BFGoodrich KM2s with about 1,000 miles on them for $650. Picked up up this past sunday and had them mounted the following monday. Had to pound the pinch weld some and it's going to need some more to make them stop rubbing. Here are a few pictures I have snapped.
Let me know what you think!

Dude...they look great. I like your wheels. I have the same wheels and have been wanting to paint them black. Did you powdercoat or paint them yourself? Again lookin good.

I painted them myself. I used duplicolor wheel paint and went as closely by the directions on the back of the can as I could. I did not use primer because these wheels were in pretty good shape when I got them, so I just sanded and painted. It is chipping a little on the very insides of the spokes, but after two winters and numerous offroad outings I really think they have held up excellent.

I think they do pretty well in the snow but my perception is somewhat invalid because the tires I took off were in pretty bad shape, so anything would have seemed like it does really well. The rubbing wasn't causing any issues but it didn't sound very good either. Some pounding of the pinch weld and it is much better but still not all the way gone.
