So don’t stone me to death, and the chart above is great. But with 2“ lift opposed to a 3” as stated in the chart. Will 285/75/16s fit if I chop the cab mount, and add -1.25 spacers?

Hard to tell, but a lot of it has to do with the rims you’ll use. Seems like the sweet spot for rims is -10 to 10 offset, and you’ll have a higher chance of not rubbing. I believe the 1.25in spacers equates to -32 offset. CMC would definitely be a must with spacers and 33s. The CMC would probably need to be pretty darn aggressive, unless you just went ahead and did a cab mount relocate....

The rims ill be using are stock 2017 TRD rims

I think those are +25 offset for the off road rims. If adding the spacers, will be at -7 offset all together, which sounds pretty reasonable. Might be able to get away with no CMC as long as your alignment is spot on. Also, have you considered either 0.75in or 1in spacers instead of 1.25in?

what would be the benefit of .75/ 1” opposed to 1.75”? Really I’m just trying to achieve 33” tire fitment

The more aggressive your stance (wheels popping out from the fender), the more likely you’ll rub your cab mount when turning because it’ll increase your scrub radius.
I’m currently running 33s with only a 1 inch lift. Went off-roading this past weekend and no rub under flex. No CMC as well. If I were to add spacers, I would likely be rubbing and have to CMC.

Sorry for the late reply. Yes they fit just fine. Using SPC uca’s so the alignment wasn’t an issue. Very slight rub in reverse at full lock to the driver side

The real question is what’s the wheel offset!? If you have a + offset with that set up you’ll Probly get UCA rubbing. I did with a +20 offset. Find wheels with 0 or -18 offset

Thanks much for the information. But probably just as important, if not more, I’d the WHEEL offset and backspace. If you have a + positive 38 offset, your tire just moved 1.5” closer to the suspension. Another consideration is the actual shape of the tire wall. I had Terra grapplers which were rather round and bulging on sidewalls. My current tires are BFG KO2’s and they are shaped more square with straight sidewalls. I’m running 275/70/17 and they’re totally clear and rub free with a 3” lift, where 285’s were rubbing all over especially the UCA’s. If I had wheels with an offfset it -18 I would probably have had zero issues.
So I just got my first truck (2021 Tacoma SR5 4WD) and I’m looking to get some bigger tires and most likely a lift. I’m new to things like this so please be understanding. My stock tires are 245/75r16 Toyo A31s. If I were to run a 3inch lift with 265/75r16 General Grabber ATX tires, would I experience any rubbing or any other issue and also would that be a weird looking setup or would it look pretty standard?
you shouldn't, I would caution you on doing more than a 2" lift because that seems to be the point where people start having issues
Okay that’s good to know. Should I look into a 2 inch front and 1 inch back leveling kit and pair it with 32s? Or would that run risk of rubbing and would I be better off with 31s?
You could run 265/75R16 with no lift on stock wheels, if you go negative offset then you may have rubbing. I can't say you will have problems with a 3" lift but be aware that you could.
From my experience, I have had no issues with rubbing on/offroad with 265 75 16s (0 Offset, 16x8 4.5bs). I just recently switched to -25, 16x8 3.5bs wheels and I am now rubbing with the 265 75 16s.

Will a 17x9 -12 work on stock suspension with 265 70 17? Will I have any issues??

Do you have a level or lift?
a 3 inch lift should give you clearance to a 33 inch tire, as long as you don't to wide. Mine had 265-70-17 stock. I am also putting a 3 inch front, 2 inch back and going with the Toyo At III 285 70 17

I have a 2020 TRD Sport 4x4 and I want to run the Nitto Ridge Grapplers in 285/75/R17.
I’m adding a Stage 2A Fox lift to it which will give me roughly 2.5” to 2.75” of lift. I also have the SPC Adjustable UCA’s on it. And will be putting them on the Icon Six Speed wheels size 17 x 8.5 with 0 offset.
I have already done the CMC, but do you guys think I’ll still be rubbing?

I have pretty much this exact lift and tire size. In addition to the CMC I had to fold the pinch weld over or I'd rub when turning over bumps. I'm running my caster around 3 degrees on Icon UCAs so if you can squeeze out some more that might help you too.
thank you

Thanks. Yes, I did fold the pinch weld too. How about in the front, are you getting any rubbing there?
I've got a high clearance front bumper so there isn't anything left for me to rub on in the front. You may have to do something like the "viper" cut. There are a few videos on here about that particular cut.

Cool.. I’ll check those out. Thanks!
Do what I did and cut everything from trim to liner to the pinch weld, in the parking lot of a discount tire with everyone watching while you look like a psycho.
