    Yes, but as always you might have to trim.

    Check out Box Rocket's build back when he had 33x10.50's. His wheels have 3.5" of BS.

    he emailed me and said this


    I am sorry for the confusion, they have the 3.56" BS and a 4" BS. They do not have a 4.5". Let us know if interested, and we'll send a PayPal invoice right over so you may purchase. Or, let us know if we can answer any other questions.

    I have 4.5 on my 02 with 255/85-16 and extended Kings. You will be doing the pinch weld mod for sure.

    Riley, if you're after that wide and aggressive look then 3.56" bs will give you that. You'll definitely need to the the pinch weld mod which isn't too hard to take care of.

    I like this backspacing on a 1st gen especially with a 3" lift. If you don't like the wide stance then consider more backspacing to bring the wheels/tires in.

    You'll rub in the fender, might have to trim bumper and do the pinch weld mod

    You will be doing the pinch weld mod regaurdless of back spacing. 33s are 33s and rub. Period.

    Pushing them out farther is going to put them into the lower front fender(same area as the pinch weld) too so you may have to trim a bit there too.

    the wider (less) BS will keep the 33s off the frame though.

    I dont really want them sticking out a ton. I dont mind an inch or so kinda like my current tko rims. They are 10.5 wide tires. and i have an elite bumper and it allows more space.

    I dont like wide tires and i dont like crazy offset. I got 04 flares on my truck so i dont mind them beeing flush with them. What do i order. 4 or 3.56 (Toyos in canada alone cost $1600) I get rims for free..

    When my truck was on 31s if you go to my build, when i added spacers, that was 3'' BS with 10.5'' tires. So with your flares, tires would be damn near perfect id guess

    so 4" backspacing will keep the tires in the wheel well? but would they rub on frame?

    Yes. 4.0 will most likely rub a bit on the frame. Barely tho
