This website is the passion-project of a USMC veteran/mechanic, @Tyler.

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?
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.
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
I figured i would throw an end all be all in here to settle the age old question "what tire size will fit".
This is my personal opinion and experience, taking into consideration measurements of the wheel well with the cab mount in mind.
You do not have to follow this chart if you have plans to upgrade relatively soon to getting a bigger tire size as it may not be of major importance if that is your plan.
However, it can give you an idea of what will fit with what in regards to tire size and lift with no cutting/molding.
Stock tire sizes (fits regardless of lift size)

Largest tire without lift (preferred)

HOW TO DETERMINE TIRE SIZE
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.I figured i would throw an end all be all in here to settle the age old question "what tire size will fit".

HOW TO DETERMINE TIRE SIZE
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??
Mine are -12 with 285/75/16
Do you have a level or lift?
Mine are -12 with 285/75/16
cut everything
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.

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!
