285s with proper offset

285/75/16 16x8 0-offset Minimal Rub (Used Heatgun to soften and flatten inner fender plastic)

 

Cmc?

 

255/85/16 0 offset

 

I have 255s on now. I like them a lot. But I don’t want to daily drive on a set of MT

 

How are your toyos wearing ?

 

They are geolander MT G003. Just got them last week.

 

Second this ^^
I’ve got SPCs with 285s with a -12 offset and once I got my cmc all I need was some (somewhat aggressive) fender lining heat gun work and hammering the pinch weld

Looking through that and one guy still has rubbing on cab mount after a cmc. Definitely not trying to go through that. Heat, trimming, and cmc is far as I’m willing to go. If I have to start charging alignment specs I’ll just stick with 255s

 

Ive worked at a Toyota dealer for 10 years and haven't seen a 285 that doesn't rub full lock, even with upper arms and lower caster set max.

Most claim no rubbing, but ignore full lock and compression. So backing out of driveways and parking stalls etc.

The 255 has the one choice of STT Max. They are a hybrid rather than a full MT

 

I don’t mind rubbing on plastics, but rubbing on metal is a no go for me. Like I said, cmc and trimming/heating far as I’m willing to go. Not sure if this is gonna work for me anymore.

I’m staying on stock Trd wheels with 1.25 spacers

I saw the coopers, I’m not digging the tread pattern at all unfortunately. They kind of look real commercial like.

 

Yeah, youd need non-factory alignment specs (not a big deal, but thats just like, my opinion)and would probably would want upper control arms (and most likely SPC's so you have the most adjustability).

but thats the rabbit hole... and your already looking down the hole with 285/75/16's. Most people are going to suggest uca's and non-factory alignment specs with any tire more than 32 3/4" tall or 11" wide. Plastic will always be a roll of the dice, to sum it up "probably gunna rub here, here and there. nothing you cant easily remove"

I was merely shining a light, at a particular ledge, down in the hole.

 

I appreciate that. Better to find out now than after spending all this money and cutting the cab mount

 

Also, not all trimming methods are the same.



I cant speak for regearing either, my drivetrain is different.

 

Didn’t need CMC

 

What about alignment? Have you gone off-road ?

 

As far as alignment, Firestone has a deal $200(Not sure on exact price) for Lifetime alignment. I usually get my alignment every other oil change.

 

I meant like , are you on factory Alingment specs or ru using aftermarket uca

 

Stock UCA, Front only 1.5”

 

Killer deal
