No troubles whatsoever with 275/70R16 tires.

Stock size is a 245-70R16 Stock for the TRD package is 265-70R16. I've heard that generally 265-75R16 is okay. 285's need a mild lift.

I've heard from a few owners that even a mild lift is insufficient to avoid some rubbing on a lock-to-lock turn, when using 285's.

What if you were to put wheels (rims) with a 3 5/8 backspacing on 285's, would you get rubbing then?

I've only had experience with, and talked with others, who use stock wheel offset.

True... the lift doesn't relocate the frame.

Moving the wheels inboard would possibly cause interference with the upper A-arm. Moving them out can cause rubbing on the frame and fenders due to the wider arc.

Correct, other than the speedo recalibration.

I just got a 2003 Tundra that I want to put 285/75r16's on and was actually reading this newsgroup today in hopes of finding some answers. I've been doing alot of research and can't get a consistent answer on whether 285/75's will rub with a 2 or 2.5 inch lift and 16x8 wheels with 3 5/8 backspacing. If anyone would care to share their experience with this, please help me.
Now as far as tire size without a lift, the largest I've seen working is 265/75r16, BUT it may be that only certain tires will work. There is a good deal of information on this at
