    I recently put on a 2 inch leveling kit on the front of my 2017 TRD Off-Road and I am wanting to put some new wheels and tires on my truck. I would like to get 285/75/r16 Toyo open country M/T tires and The wheels I want are the Method 305 | NV | Matte Black but they only come in a 0 offset and 4.5 backspacing in the 16in diameter. I was wanting to know if I could fit that setup on my truck with no/minimal rubbing. I don't mind cutting some plastic but I don't really want to do a CMC yet. Would I need to buy a set of wheel spacer? Anyfeedback will be greatly appreciated!!

    Also how much cutting would I have to do? I would like to only cut the plastic pieces for now. Later on in the future I don’t mind doing a CMC but If I can get away with just cutting the plastic for now that would be great.

    Wheel spacers will make the tires rub more. If you don't cut the cab mount you will rub. You might get away without hammering the pinch weld, If you get your caster set to around 4+ degrees Good luck.

    Thanks for the information! I will probably end up doing a CMC.
