I installed KO3's in 295/70/18 yesterday on stock 2026 Overtrail. I removed the brackets inside the fender wells, but no trimming or moving of the fender liners was required. Zero rub full lock, forward and reverse. I have't fully flexed the suspension, but all looks good. It's tight, but clearance everywhere.

Spare tire?

I'm not planning on using a spare. I carry an OME tire repair kit and I have a compressor. The 295 would not fit in spare location.

ok. cool. lots of people do.
but just fyi, last 5 times i had issues on the trail were wheel getting too close to a rock and sheering the valve. only time I had a puncture was running road tires at 35psi in Death Valley.
in 4 of those valve cases, the valve was so damaged it lost all the air almost instantly and was irreparable, on the 5th, only lost some air but lost the ability to inflate- on the way back hit a rock that completely de-beaded the tire as it was running way too low.
make sure you carry spare valves and can unseat and reseat a tire.
