Anyone with pics of 285 Treadwright Guard Dog Tires on stock 3rd Gen. rims?
I am looking at picking up a set of Guard Dogs for my 4runner and I have a specific question regarding the clearance with the 3rd gen 4Runner UCA. I know some tires will rub and some wont, and i am looking to see if anybody is currently running these on stock rims.
Here is a shot of my 265/75R16 Cooper Discoverer ST with the 882's up front.

looks like the tires that are on there are already pretty tight, i'd say about a half inch or so from hitting. 285 is just the width in mm, so if you have 265, and youre going to 285's, thats means its a 20mm difference. wich is about 3/4 of an inch.
i'd say they're gonna rub. got some 1" or maybe 1-1/2"(just to be safe) wheel spacers

I've got a set of 285/75/16 Guard Dogs on my 1st gen runner (yes I had to buy new wheels). They rubbed a tad at full droop so I added some 1.5" spacers from Wabbit. The wheels I bought have 4" of backspacing (don't even get me started on that issue), what is the backspacing on your stock wheels?
