For whatever reason, I dig large tires on the stock wheels. Not saying I'll never replace my wheels, but at least for now I'm happy with this look.
If you're running larger tires and/or a lift on stock wheels, let's see 'em!

I've got 285/75r16 BFG KO2's on a ~2.5" Bilstein/OME lift.

Any rubbing? Are you running wheel spacers/adapters? Set up looks great!
Rubbing off-road, yes. On the road, no rubbing after I took off the OEM mud flaps. I'm not running spacers but I have the adjustable UCA's. They're on the stock setting still, but I do plan to add more caster. Even the rear rubs pretty bad when stuffing the tires when wheeling.
 
Gotcha. I need to crank mine up a little too. At full lock on some dips Offroading I’m running as well and I hate hearing it. I’ve also got a -12 offset on my wheels.

Sometimes it's so bad I really gotta hit the gas to keep moving forward, lol. I hope I don't rip my fender lining out. In hindsight, I kinda wish I went a little higher with the lift. I also wish I went with 35's...
 
Looks great, I'm a fan also.
I had planned on doing exactly this, since I got some 16" TRD Pro wheels for cheap.

Can you tell me more about your Bilstein/OME lift?
OME 887 coils set to .85
Light Racing UCA’s on stock setting
Bilstein 5100’s front and rear

Thanks for the info Tyler!

Is there anything you don't like about your set up (other than the lean I read about)?
I'm asking because I realize people get lifts for different reasons.

I'd personally like something to give me a little more ground clearance, looks good aesthetically, and most importantly - will ride good both on and off road.

There’s nothing I don’t like except for the taco lean. The front could be a little higher too but I’m fine with it. I really abuse this suspension and it works well.

I'm considering powder coating my stock wheels and getting a set of winter tires.
