    You’ve asked this before and already gotten the answer. Lift doesn’t help anything. That size tire will rub control arms on stock wheels, it will rub mud flaps on medium wheels like the TRD Sema wheels, and it will almost certainly rub flares/cab mount with aftermarket wheels that are so wide like that and that have aggressively negative offset.

    The wider the wheel and more negative offset you go, the higher chance you have of rubbing. That tire already barely fits as is, the wheels will make it worse. Really the best fitment for that tire is a Sema wheel. Why not just go 265? They look practically identical.

    I am, because it’s far more common, it’s only 1/2” narrower and shorter, and will fit better. Still, wide aftermarket wheels with negative offset make for a lot of unknowns about where it might rub.

    What UCA’s would you suggest to fit 275/70 r17 with a rim of 17 8.5 -10 offset?

    or just stick with the oem uca’s get the 265/70 r17 and call it a day

    Uca isn't the answer. I ran a 285/70r17 17x9 +1 with dirt king uca's (not ideal for clearance) a uca will help get your caster and camber back within stock specs but at the expense of better can mount clearance. Accutune is the only one that has ideal built in caster specs for clearance that I know of.

    But at the end of the day it is the alignment you have done to help force that lca forward to get the clearance your after.

    Right now I run 285/70/17 on a 17x8.5 wheel with -10 offset. I have stock control arms, a 2” lift and a good alignment. Did some minor plastic trimming and do not rub 99% of the time, even when doing mild off roading.

    Just send it and trim where needed. Stop asking. Haha.
