So the tires are mounted and they actually fit pretty well for a 33.5 inch tire on basically almost stock suspension. I had to trim a bit of the front fender flare where it comes over the chrome bumper and I had to trim the back of the front wheel wells as well. Nothing really major. I will have to beat back the pinch weld a good inch or so and then it should be mostly fine for wheeling
What's a good pressure to run these at for the street? I have them at 35 currently
Also note my front wheels are slightly tuned in the pics which is why it doesn't look centered

Might want to consider dropping the front flare extension.

Would you take a pic head on from the front or rear? Curious about the stance. They look great though — I’m so excited to get this size next time.

A full side view picture would be great. Mine just got out of the body shop and my tires are well worn. Thanks

I ran 39 for awhile in my 255/80/17 ST Maxx, then dropped to 37, and now dropped to 35. Probably should have started at 35 or lower. Over the 75k+ miles I've had them I'm getting a tad more center wear than outer wear.
The chalk test told me 39 though...

I go 3-5 psi below chalk test to account for tire pressure increase as tires warm up from driving.

I've had 3 sets of Dick Cepek EC 255/85-16, now I'm trying Maxxis Bighorn 255. I've always run 32 psi with good wear results. The 3GT4R is a very, very light vehicle for these E-range tires.

Here ya go! I will say they do look much smaller on the vehicle than I thought they were going to. I barely have any lift and they almost look stock size just glancing at it

Currently its the old size 265/75 which barely fits. I don't think 255/85 would fit unless it was pretty much flat and even then it might be a struggle. I'm gonna figure out a solution for a spare in the coming months

I have a Toytec 2.5in lift and jba uca and have been running stock 265/70/r17. My plan was to go 255/80/r17 Nitto ridge grapplers...but seeing yours I'm re-thinking ..once again. lol...going to look at 85s now.

Regarding the spare:
A 255/85-16 MT tire will not fit with the factory hitch, airing down and putting
a ratchet strap around it won't get it fit either. You might be able to get it to fit with a factory bumper but no hitch, I haven't tried. I have a Savage bumper that is identical from a spare tire fit standpoint, so I currently have a 215/85-16 spare (~31"), but will be fitting a 235/85-16 (~32") very soon. If you need to run an unequal size spare for very long on pavement(a few hundred miles), put it on the front axle and shift to rear wheel drive.
Regarding tire pressure:
I've been running 32psi for years with these tires, BUT, I have a full set of steel skid plates, rock sliders, and I'm always loaded up for 1-2 weeks of camping, including ~10 gallons of water. If it was a DD running unloaded, I'd probably be at 30 or even 28 psi
Maxis Bighorn MT 255/85-16, OEM 3rd gen alloy wheels. If you really, really wanted to optimize the tires to match the Limited flares, then use 1.25" spacers in front, and 1" spacers in the rear. I have 1.25" spacers all around.
