285/75/16 on first gen

Hi, I've tried searching but I can't seem to find an answer to my question. I'm looking at picking up a set of the TRD fj wheels which are 16x7.5 4.5" backspacing (I believe) with 285/75/16 tires on them. I have about 2" of lift front and rear on my '02 4x4, and I was wondering if these will fit, and if they won't, how much trimming would be needed and where? I do take my truck offroad, so flex compression needs to be considered too.

Thanks for your help!

 

Any ideas?

 

You should be good. You'll rub the frame at full lock, but it's going to be minor. Between the tire and your UCA, you'll have about 1-1.25" of clearance.

 

I had 285s on my stock wheels and rubbed on the frame at full lock and on the UCAs.

 

it will rub a little bit, but nothing to worry about.

 

Thanks everybody, I'll go ahead and get them then.

 

this is with stock springs on rear

 

just installed mine. 3" lift, 1.25" spidertrax wheels spacers, 285/75/16 duratracs. i just hammered the pinch weld a little bit and im good

 

Thanks for all your help, I'll post pictures when I get them on. I hope it turns out as good as goldie's. Looks so good.

 

No rubbing at all? what about mileage with those 285s?

 

You didn't have to trim the valence?

 

I use to have them with 1.5" spacers

 

No rubbing at all under normal driving conditions. only time it happens is if the wheels are turned and going over a pretty big bump or something. ive had an ultraguage for a while now and it stays around 17.3 mpg. i do mostly city driving so could be better if i drove more highway.

I trimmed jus a small corner out of the valence closest to the tires jus to be sure. probably doesnt need it but only takes 5 min to cut.

 

Ok, just wondering cause I'm getting the OME 3" lift and wanted to know if I had to trim that or not. Just got it replaced after an accident so I didnt want to have to cut it up or anything like that

 

17.3 MPG. Any idea what it was before the 285s?

 

I have 3 inch lift and icon uniball UCA. Does anyone know if 285/75 R16 would still rub? Im guessing that when turned and hitting bumps yes. Thanks

 

You shouldn't have a problem running that size tire with our kit as long as your wheel are within our recommended spec which is 8.5" Wide, 4.75" Backspace!

Awesome. Thanks for the info. If I have any other questions ill be sure to reach out to you.

 

Hey guys I have a icon lift at 2.75in and a spc uca. Just got some new wheels 16x8 0 offset. And 285/75/16 Patagonia MTs. Will I rub on the frame rail? Should I get spidertrax wheel spacers?

 

I would say yes because it will rub on the top of the spindle. I don't know though because I have only used stock offset rims. the other bit is that some tire shops wont touch it with wheel spacers so when you get tire work done it's a pain so keep tires to run on when you need to get a balance done or something.
