    I just lifted my truck about 3" and put 275/70/17 BF good AT's. I am getting some slight rubbing when I am fully turning and I am trying to figure out what size spacers to get. I don't want to widen my wheel base too much. 1.5" spacers have been recommend to me. If anyone has tips I would appreciate it. image.jpg

    Might want to remove your front mudguard. And if you don't have aftermarket ucas, you might want to consider those as well for alignment.

    Definitely remove front mud flaps. Call Toytec about the spacer you'll need if you plan to continue using the stock Sport wheels. My guess is the 1/4" will suffice, but ask Toytec.

    I'm only lifted 1.85" up front with 275/70/17 KO2's on Stealth 6 (4.3" BS and -10 offset) with mud flaps removed. No rub.

    I have the same size tire.
    5100 set at .85 in front.
    Had to remove mudflap and heat up/mold the front plastic part of the wheel well to clear. Very very minor trimming involved.

    17x8 inch rims with 0 offset.

    Set my caster at +2.7 0 toe 0 camber

    No rubbing, unless I stuff them.

    Im rubbing the ucas as well. Thats the problem with the stock rims. No worries its just because the bfgs have a high shoulder. Ive been dealing with it for 6 years. Not changing it. Save your money

    I don't rub at all but FWIW , I have Hankook ATm

    and you guys with non stock backspace wheels are more likely to rub in different areas than somebody with stock wheels like thr OP

    I run front mud flaps no problem
