The fact people fit 285s with the same amount of lift makes me think ill be fine. Im at 38" up front on 265/70/17s and they're pretty heavily worn.

What is the measurement from the center of the hub to the fenderwell? That means a lot more than fender to ground since it isn't affected by tire size. Were you running the Methods and wheel spacers? Remember, you suspension cycles up and down. So even though at rest it sits higher, if you aren't dropping bump stops to limit up travel, it can still rub. On my setup, I haven't noticed any issues with the body mount, it's all in the plastic behind the mud flap.

I just bought a 2006 4Runner Sport for my soon to be 16 year old son. Prior to giving it to him, I would like to do some mods. The problem is I am a complete idiot when it comes to mods. Here is what I am looking to do:
Lift/Level kit- he has mentioned 3" but not stuck on that height. Don't want to disable the XREAS.
The largest/widest tire I can fit in without any trimming etc. (above my ability)
A quality tire that will last that is aggressive looking. He likes the over the shoulder tread like on the Toyo trail grappler
Will be changing out the stock rims. (Would like to stay with the same size to ensure the spedo remains accurate.
It will be his daily driver and driven almost exclusively on road (of course I am sure a 16yo will take it off road without my knowledge .
Really just looking to hook him up with a really cool 4runner.
What would be your suggestions ( I understand tastes vary)?

For the lift, any spacer lift will do. The main two options that come to mind are the Daystar 2.5" front / 1.5" rear and the Toytec 3" front / 2" rear. The Daystar is much cheaper and easier to install, and IMO the 1/2" is hardly noticeable. I also don't see that 1/2" making a huge difference in what tires will fit.
I really don't suggest a mud/off road tire, but that's just my opinion. You loose street performance, gain road noise, and typically spend much more money. Look into the Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs. They are much better on the street than any mud tire but still have the aggressive look.
You will want to get wheels that have similar offset/backspacing as stock to minimize rubbing. Many get wheels that will push the tire out even with the fender, but this will increase the probability of rubbing. With stock spec'd wheels, a 275/70/17 would be the biggest/widest that would fit. Every vehicle is different, but with stock spec'd wheels these should not rub. If they do, the front fender liner will need moved forward and possibly remove the front mud flaps. If this concerns you, you better stick with 265/70/17. There are not many tires available in a 275/70/17, but if you decide to get 18" wheels there are a lot available in the equivalent size (275/65/18). The size of the wheels should not affect the speedo, but going with larger tires will.

As others have said, anywhere from free to $100, depending on mileage. If I were paying $100, it'd have to be 15k miles or less. There are way too many out there for sale to pay more than that.
