    Any chance of fitting 285/75/16s (33s) with 5100s set to the highest setting in front with no trimming? Just normal city driving, nothing offroad.

    slim to none, wheel backspacing and how much caster your running all has an effect.

    the trimming really ain't bad man, took me 5 minutes with a sharp knife, can't even notice it. My cab mounts will rub at full lock in reverse, but its so slight you can only hear it with the radio off.

    Thanks, I don't think the trimming will be a huge deal. I have the TRD off road FJ wheels which have the same backspacing as the stock steelies, and I am 100% opposed to adding wheelspacers. My left caster is 1.6 and right is 1. I'll be honest-I have no idea what those numbers mean in relation to a 33 inch tire not rubbing in my wheel well. Sounds like it's time to hit the books.

    Did you have to trim your fender flares as well?

    Here is what I did on my 2014. Instead of cutting I pushed in and folded the wheel well liner in and bolted by one point. Bolted by the inner point. Just need cut off the extra tap and make flush with the other. Running 285/75/17.
