Overall differences between 305/70 and 285/75
Are there much?
I know most people here are riding on 285/75s, but they arent true 33x12.50's.
Would you think a 16x8 rim w/ 4inch backspacing adn 305/70's would fit under my 4runner with a 2" BL? Will there be any problems with hitting the a-arm?

Im gonna try that. I have a revteck in front and downey in the rear. With a Roger Brown 2 inch body on the way. But im running 16x10 Welds. So hopefully They'll clear with no problomes. But I've heard of guys clearing 35s with a little pounding a cutting.

I know this isn't exactly what you are looking for, but...
I'm running 33/12.5-15s (true 33s, but on a 15" rim), and there is no way they would have every cleared the stock a-arms. I've got the stock 15" rims, and the only rubbing I get is on the frame rails when the wheels are turned and compressed. It's not bad - I can certainly live with it as it only does it on occasion, and never for any length of time.

Would I have clearance between the a-arm with my stock 16x7 rims? Or should I go ahead and get the 4" backspaced?
Thanks for the replies guys.

4.25" BS on 8" wide rims might also clear those tires from the A arm.

it will work
I am running 305/70 mt/r's with 16x8 with 4.0 bs. No rubbing. I could probly fit 315/75 (35's) but I dont want to wear steering rack. with 4.0 bs my tires set out from the wheel well like 1/4 of a inche past my limited flare.
