Could I run 30-31" 285s with out a lift?
Or would it require extensive cutting and trimming? What if I ran wheel spacers?

You'll have rubbing everywhere. UCA, bumper, etc.

Dang.
I use mine as more of a trail head getter-to-er, I just really like that wide meaty look of the 285s.
Whats basically the minimum to run them? OME 881s and 890s?

30-31's are not 285's....
if you mean 265's / 31's, then sure
if you mean 285's / 33's, then I wish you best of luck

I just meant a tire thats 30-31 inches in diameter, 285 (millimeters?) in width, Maybe I'm wrong I'm new to truck speak.
Idk I was thinking if I went down in diameter and wider maybe they wouldn't rub

285-75-r16 (33's), 265-75-r16 (31's), 265-70-r16 (stock) is the metric sizing.
265-75-r16 is a common tire size that should work just fine with no lift, as its just barely larger than stock sizing.
In metric tire measurements, the first dash is tread width in millimeters, the second number is the percent of the tread width that is the tire side wall height, and the third is the wheel/rim diameter in inches.
So, to figure out the actual tire height, do .254 * 2 * metric width * percentage + rim diameter, or just do the simple route and use an online calculator

dont listen to them... i ran 285s for a long time with no lift... will you rub, yes very slightly at full stuff and at full lock, will it hurt anything no. -now with that being said i have a 97 SR5, if you are a limited 4runner or a sport edition then i can not confirm that you can run a 285 without a lift, but if you are a base or a SR5 you most certainly can
the Rescue Runner build thread
there read through my build thread it talks about it and shows pics of the clearance.

You know whats funny? I've also got a 97 SR5 with 17" Tundras....So I guess what works for you..should work for me!
I saw your pic with your fingers between the tire and the fender wall.. was that with some trimming or w/o? cause you never said you trimmed in the build thread

Huh? My wife has a pair of extremely worn 285s on our '99 with a 2 inch lift, and she rubs the fender liner just pulling out of the driveway. She can't wheel it until she gets smaller tires because at full stuff she's tearing the fenders off in front and in the rear.

I agree with you, my 265/75/16s damn near rub on my 97 with my old worn 220k mile springs. Also in my personal opinion I think big tires stuffed on stock suspension just looks kinda silly...But to each is his own if its what you like go for it.
With 17s you could go 265/70/17s=31.8's or 255/75/17's = 32's Out of curiosity what size are you running now?

it works with 17 wheels, thats all i can say. i did no trimming other than to hammer over my pinch welds. the 17" wheel probably has a lot to do with it, being as though it will push the radius of the sidewall further out from the hub.
now i am running spacers, 1.25". im only doing that now because with the lift, my front UCAs rub on the inner sidewall of the tire, but thats with 3.25" of lift up front.
when i was running 285s on my runner before my lift i was using "old" 99 tall coils, so i figure i as at about stock height, maybe .5" higher than 97 sr5. i ran like this for almost two years, wheeled the truck and daily drove it. never had a single issue. 285s will fit with a stock wheel and no lift. now lifting might create problems with the UCAs and rubbing, because lifting an IFS effectively narrows your track..., and so while daily driving with a lift and 285s i could see where someone could rub bad if they were using stock OE wheels.
right now with my lift(3.25") and the 1.25" spacers my tires(285 BFG km1) are just at the edge of my fenders, just peeking out ever so slightly. it looks good and id guess puts the tires about .5-.75" out fruther than a stock stance. i now have zero rub issues and full range of unobstructed movement in both steering and wheel travel or any combination of the two

285x65r16= 30.6"
285x70r16= 31.7"
The only problem is no tire manufacturer I know of makes that size. Edit**** Super Swamper does but I wouldn't put these on a daily driver. http://tire-size-conversion.com/tire...1X11.50R16.htm

You must just be special. With no lift on my 96 and only 265's I rubbed at full lock, stuff and on control arm. With 5" lift rear and 4" lift front and 285's I had too run wheel spacers to clear UCA, cut front bumper so I could turn and rear bumper so I could stuff.
