    Would the KO2's fit on a none TH Renny without a lift or spacers?

    Yes, they will fix without a lift and spacers

    Now the tire size you are looking into is 225 65 R17 right?

    Yes that is the tire I was looking at. Really just want a good offroad tire that looks, beefy I guess would be the word.

    After much digging I'd have to say I finally found the answer to the question I have! I'm wanting to run ko2s 215/65R16 on a 2wd sport with no spacers and no lift. So this is cool right? Thanks guys.

    I have the same rack and problem with the brackets. Can you point me to these low profile brackets you ordered? Thanks!

    So the 225/65r17 size will fit a non TH 2wd WITHOUT spacers or a lift?

    Nina I like the looks of your Roof Basket. I bought one from Amazon for 160ish and cant wait to install them when weather warms up a bit. I don't have the Rack though because I have the base Sport, so I need to install aftermarket cross bars.

    Love it! How is the ride, road noise and gas mileage with the KO2's? Also, did you ever run the thule aeroblades without the cargo rack? If so, how was the wind noise?

    The ride is awesome. There's slight noise from the tires and the roof rack but it's actually pretty quiet and comfortable. It was louder before I added the 2nd fairing on the bottom part of the roof rack. I installed the crossbars and the rack at the same time so I never heard what it was like without the rack.

    Did you notice any drop in MPG with the heavier KO2s? Also, do you have any rubbing with these tires and the spacers? Did you have to do the pinch seam mod? 1 inch spacers or 1.25, 1.5?

    No I didn't notice any changes in mpg with the ko2s or the rack but I only was driving for about a month before installing them so idk. Lol. I have rubbing when I turn my wheels completely which isn't often. The rubbing isn't bad tho, hasn't done any damage to my tires from off-roading. I have the renegade ready 1inch spacers. And I didn't do the pinch seam mod.

    225/65/17 KO2s fit on all Renegades. 2 or 4 wheel. I've seen a few different ones on a few different Renes.

    On a TH no spacers needed, I've got about 10k on mine, switched from the Yokohama ATS and lost about 2 mpg. Sitting at 22.6 over 20k and roughly 21.6 overall with the KO2. With the shityears I was around 23-24.5.. but I was taking it easy those first 3k (when I replaced with Yokohamas)
