Hub to fender measurement is easier to compare because it takes the tire size out of the equation.

Quick correction - OEM ride height is 20" not 22" for comparison sake. '99's will be a bit higher, others right at or lower than 20" The OEM rear springs are quite soft...
265/70-17 or 265/75-16 (same rolling diameter, etc.) will fit on a stock height 4Runner, but you do have to make sure the alignment is done correctly. You need 'max caster' which pushes the wheels farther forward in the wheel well to clear the wheel well liner. Here is where it rubs if you don't:
(the inner plastic fender liner is a bit 'darker' where the tire was rubbing)
That's with 265/70-17 AT's at stock height and original alignment.
