    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 tobuy a set of 1.25 wheel spacer? Anyfeedback will be greatly appreciated!!

    You won’t need the spacer. That would make any rubbing issues worse. Hopefully some 3rd gen guys will chime in on the size fitment.

    Steve is correct, the spacers will push the wheels further out which will increase the possibility of rubbing the cab mount. 285's are aggressive to begin with on your generation so for 285's you'll likely have to do the CMC.

    Thanks for the info I will most likely end up doing a CMC.
