285/75/R16 on stock wheel?!
greetings! i have a '01 Sport Pkg 4Runner with 265/70/16 tires. i am planning on up sizing my tires to BFG AT 285/75/16 with stock wheels. could something tell me whether:
1/ the tires would fit my stock wheel?
2/ spare tire would fit the wheel well if fitted with bigger tire?
thank you very much for any advise.
best,
- Gary

Does anyone know i I 'd be able to run them with the PP 1" springs? I'd love to have them, but I think they would rub, would't they? I'd probably have to get the 265/75R16's, right?

265/75s WILL WORK.

hi-
I bought the lift kit off of Ebay and had a shop put it in .... but from what I understood it was 2.5 all around. I can see the red spacers in front, and in the rear ... correct me if I'm wrong.
Someone said something about the hitch not clearing .. is this so? .. b/c I need to leave the hitch on there.
Also I know the 285s won't fit in the spare position with the hitch .. but could I leave the stock spare, and still be able to use that, instead of upgrading the spare too?
thanks

sorry to bring this thread back from the grave...but!
i am about to install 2.5" spacers up front and ome 891's out back. i am hoping to be able to run the trXus m/t's in a 285/75/R16 on stock wheels.
the tire size is a 33x11.5". this will fit with no problems except for possibly banging the pinch welds up front a bit, correct?
i am more concerned about rubbing on the a-arms, but i thought that was only with the 12.5" wide tires.
some confirmation or suggestions are welcomed!

When I read this thread, I didn't think it would work and then I saw how far back it went. I think they'll rub the a-arms. Isn't this why one of our 3rd gen owners recently bought the Lexus wheels so he wouldn't rub? I can't remember who this was but it was fairly recent and it wasn't Fink. Let me search and if I can find out who, I'll post back.
Here's the thread I'm talking about: https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f2/285s-not-fitting-72689/

yeah. i searched for 285/75/R16 on stock wheels and this is really the only thread that came up with importance.
i KNOW the 12.5" wide tires will rub. i just am not sure about the 11.5".

Wow what an old thread.
285's will fit with 2.5 inches of lift, no less unless your rig is a complete street queen. They will fit on stock rims as most here on the board run this setup including me. You will need to bang the pinch weld flat and you will either need to buy new upper A-arms or shave the ones you have so the tire won't rub there (285's will rub the a-arm). Check out Schaefer's site, he will modify your arms for you for pretty cheap. You may also rub the frame a little at full stuff and turn, but you can't hear it and it doesn't hurt anything.

hahaha when I read this thread, I was like is this a joke? Chirs is asking about tire size?? That and Shazad had bought a spacer lift?? haha then I was like OH 2003!
Rob (AZSKY) has 285/75/16 on stock and rubs the a arm, and I think part of the frame. So to concur (sp?) with Jon they will fit, but rub.

i read that a 1/4" wheel spacer will take care of any of the rubbing. any idea as to price or where to purchase those?
and with the a-arm rubbing...then a body lift won't help that.
i guess i will have to figure something out on that one. i wheel about twice a month when possible, so it is definetely not a trail rig. how hard is the rubbing on the a-arm?
