285's on 3rd gen wheels, '92 4runner?

i have a set of 285/75R16 Toyo M/T's that i picked up over the summer for $650 brand new with the stickers on em(helluva deal )

ever since then i've been trying DESPERATELY to find a set of used wheels for em..

i recently found these stock 3rd gen wheels!



for $200 for all 4, been in storage for years he said..have a few thousand miles on em and thats it.

now what i need to know...is will these be okay to run with no spacers on my '92 4runner, it's got a 4" lift.

i'm not worried about rubbing on the body, i have 33x12.50's on it right now and they don't rub.

i'm worried they'll rub on the upper control arm...anybody got any insight on this?

i'd rather not buy spacers, nothing against them, but i don't wanna spend $200 on wheels, and $100 on spacers







*NOTE* that's just a random pic of some wheels of that style, i got it off of 4runner.org i believe.

i'm still curious how this would work out, but i lucked out on a set of 16x8's with 4.5" backspacing on craigslist just a few minutes ago, $170 for the set.http://fortsmith.craigslist.org/pts/2118150701.html they're ugly, but they'll work!

i'm going to pick them up this weekend. at the most i might have to run a 1/4" slip on spacer.

Those 5 spokes should be fine to clear the UCA with a 1/4" spacer.

My local junkyard charges outlandish prices for the 5 spoke rims; $200 isn't a bad deal. And damn, they're sexy!

Okay so i was a little late on picking up the aftermarket wheels, and it turns out he sold them what he said "literally just 5 minutes ago"....


so now theres a set of 2000 model Tundra wheels for $100, i'm waiting on a confirmation text right now on whether or not he still has them.

will my 285/75R16 tires rub on the upper control arm with these stock wheels?

If you know (or measure) your current wheels' backspacing, you could go off of that to know whether the 3rd gen (or any) wheels will clear your UCAs. I can tell you that stock 3rd gen wheels are 4.65" BS.
