285s dont fit on my 3" suspension lift

So, I bought my tires a while ago. But i was wondering, how come people are posting htat 285's are fitting on their 3" lifts?

I have a 3" revtek suspesnion lift and the 265's cleared but BARELY. The 285's would have rubbed badlly?

anybody with a 1st gen taco that has 285's with a 3"?

 

I might be mistaken but a 285 is about a 33 inch tire.

 

Yeah I swear I have seen people posting that they fit 285's on with a 3" lift. When i test fitt'd they rubbed hella bad when turning

 

I run 285/70R17s on a 3" suspension lift (no spacers) and I rub on my control arms when I turn sharp. When I change those out it will be fine. I offroad it to and have no problem with them hitting my body.

 

Thats weird because my uncle has a 04 Tacoma and he has a 3 inch lift and hes running 285/75/16. He only rubs on the mud flaps at full turn hitting a bump. hes running BFG A/T's and I checked the specs on them and there at about 33 inches. How aggressive of a tire were you trying to run before?

 

I have that set up as do many, many others on TW. Trimming is necessary on the inner well plastic. Many even end up doing the body mount chop mod.

 

I am not positive about a first gen, but they are probably trimming a good bit. Also, are you running stock wheels? If so, you may need wheel spacers

 

Uh oh, you're 1st gen. Sorry.

 

mine are BFG MTs the one before the KM2s

 

I have 285/70/17's with Bilsteins at 2.5. Only rubbing I had was at the bottom of the front bumper cover. Trimmed that and no issues.

 

Ah ok, I didnt want to hack anything off of my truck just to clear the tires. They are 265 toyo m/t they are pretty agressive and have really thick tread.

 

Those are 265's?

And my A/T's rub the fender a little, but I just had to trim verry little and take off my flaps. But That was with the Revtek spacer lift I use to have. With my Coilovers I cranked them up a 1/4" higher so I would have issues.

 

before long travel, i was on coilovers cranked up 3" with 285-75-16s on 16x8s with 4" backspace... i had the casters set at 1.7degrees forward and they cleared both aired up and aired down...

 

im running 285/75/16 BFG all terrains on stock rims with a 3 inch spacer in the front, had to put in a 1/4 inch wheel space to clear UCA's but no rubbing anywhere now

 

i have a 2nd gen with 285's goodyear mtrs and i was wondering where you can find info on the body chop mod

 

I have a 3'' lift that's to the max and I clear 33's just fine. But just like everyone else, they definitely will rub when you crank it on a turn. And I have a 1st Gen like you.
