    Anyone running the 4 inch Rough Country kit with a 265 tire. I know I need a 17 inch wheel to clear the suspension just looking for photos for reference. Im currently running a level kit and 265 tire on 16 TRDOR

    16 or 17 inch wheel does not determine if the tire is going to rub or not. It is the combination of the wheel back spacing, diameter and width of the tire.

    I am aware, I was basing my statement using my factory off road wheels. Im not big on spacers but have been told the factory wheels wont work with that 4 inch kit.

    I know the offset makes the difference. Spacers are used to create offset. I've been told the offset of the factory wheel will not work on the 4in kit.

    The RC kit uses new uprights so that is why a stock rim won't fit, it's not a matter of tire rubbing, it's a matter of the inner diameter of the rim physically will not fit over the new uprights. A 16x9 rim will not fit but a 18x9 will if they have the same backspacing
