    So I’m new in this.
    Im really looking forward to purchasing a pair of 17x8.5 method NVs at 0 offset and 4.72 bs. I was wondering if they would rub on 265/70/17 on stock sr5 suspension? Anybody has this set up on and no rubbing?

    Mine rubbed my flaps. Falken AT3W on 4runner pro rims, on my OR. SR5 may vary, but it should be no big deal. No other rubbing.

    I had the same size Falkens on stock suspension for a few weeks. They rubbed in the front and rear (of the front wheel well) at full lock, reversing, and quicker-sharpish turns. Could not stand the noise it made every time parking it rubbed and sounded like death. I've lifted the front 1.75" and I still cannot run the mud flaps 100% rub free at full lock. (very close, but it does touch).

    I've read that Falkens run quite large, so you probably wont have much or none if you go with a different brand tire that is more of a true 265/70/17, if that makes sense?

    I can't recall the offset of my wheels, which would of also had something to do with it though as well. Just sharing my experience.
