Likely will rub up front:

You'll be about 3.5" wider on each side up front compared to stock wheels and wider = more likely to rub:

well the wheels i want come with different backspaces of 2.25, 3.50, and 3.75. which would be best? i like the look of the thinner tires that kinda stick out.

Your stock wheels are approx. 4.75" backspacing:

Measure and see. How? Make up a small block of wood that is as much wider as the new setup will be wider than what you have now and as tall as 1/2 the new setup height will be over what you have now and then run that block around the face of the tire in various states of compression and turning and see if the block hits the fender.

285 75 16 BFG AT owners

Will these tires rub on the A-arms, on the 5 spoke rims. 1999 limited.

Planning on an OME lift all around, and the 285 75's.

I searched a lot, and seems pretty consistent that these will not rub after a bit of trimming, but I want to check before its too late to get 265's.
Wanted a tire specific thread because it seems that some tires rub A LOT, and others not at all.

Thanks.

Biggest Tire Size on a 04 Tacoma

New here to the forum, just installed bilstein 5100s set at 2.5" and a rear 2" AAL in the rear, i was wondering if i could get 285/75/16s under it or am i stuck with 265s? some have said that it will rub on my UCAs and body mounts.
