Lift, 275's rubbing etc...

I posted a pic of my ride in another thread. It recently got a lift with fj springs, 5100's, front ones set on 1.75" and 1" spacers in back. My installer said it went up 4" in front and 2" out back. It is level. Rides like a dream.

My question is one that has been asked and answered a million times before, yet I haven't seen a definitive consistent answer.

Will I have any rub issues going from the 265 stock size or can I go to 275/70r17's without worry...

Appreciate it fellas.

Never mind. Gonna throw it all to the wind and go with 35" Yokohama Super Diggers.

 

Friend just put 275s on stock, non-lifted SR5. Fits just dandy. Yours should be just dandy as well.

But those 35s... Who could resist?

 

All kidding aside, I had the OEM size coming from Amazon...the E rated K02's but had them intercept the order and credit me back. Just placed a new order for a size up....265/70r17c. With the lift, I should be good.

My current tires are some off brand called Laufenn. 3 well worn and one brand new. Be nice to get new rubber on the rig.

 

Here it is. Lift done and bigger K02 tires on. Love this truck. Now it looks and drives even better. Still need to put longer end links on the rear.

 

Got the new inch longer Moog end links installed. Worked like a charm and the body rolls quite a bit less. It's pretty noticeable. Even though I still need new uca's to get rid of the twitchiness at speed, even that was improved on a little.
