Just curious - why pay for a set of K02's instead of swapping over the K03's?

The KO2s are from my last vehicle. I had taken them off after I cut one while on the trail and replaced them with 35"s. I wanted to see if the white lettering would look good on the ranger. I think it does. Plus, I'm waiting for the K03s to be available with white lettering in either 33x12.5 or 35x12.5.

With the change I was able to compare the KO2 and K03 back to back. The KO3 has a bit softer ride (both tires set at 35 psi cold) and the road noise is a bit less.

Would you mind posting some pics?

I just put an order in for the 703s in bronze myself. I’m planning on running the 285/70/R17 K03s when they come in. My truck is an XLT in cactus gray!

Looks pretty cool with the old school white letters.
‘Very nice!

What wheel color is that?
I am between these wheels or some Bronco Sasquatch wheels.

I got the wheels powder coated. I can't remember the color. Arctic grey I think.

OK awesome!
I thought those looked a lot lighter than the titanium color on the method website.

lol I've been wondering about this since he posted this months ago, thought maybe it was just the light! Love the color @51T

This is what i took inspiration from for the look I was going for.

I love them. I just called my dealer and cancelled the beadlocks on my order and am going to go with something like this instead. I really like how the +35 offset just tucks the tire while still looking pretty flush with the outside of the truck. I am not a big fan of tires poking out, I worry that I will come out to find a Jeep parked on my tire.

I see you have the bronze method mr703 in your profile pic; did you go with the 285/70r17 tires that you mentioned here? I have a set of mr703's in bronze as well just waiting for my lariat fx4 to arrive.

The +35 offset give a nice increase to stance. One of the reasons I went with +35 is when I go to a wider tire, 305 or 12.5 it should sit flush with the fender flares.

Yep, those are the tires I put on. Check out a thread I made back in July here. There's a bit more info about other things I did throughout the posts on that thread as well.
