Can I go with larger tires with wheel spacers and front leveling?
I know the larger tires question has been asked and answered. I have a 2007 SR5 with the awful Dunlop AT20 265/65r17 on it currently and looking to go to Firestone Destination AT 265/70r17. My concern is, are they going to rub with 1.25" wheel spacers and no lift besides the daystar front leveling kit? I have seen a lot of discussion on the tire size on stock but have not found an answer on anything with the setup I have. Thanks in advance for your input!

Yes, they will rub. I just bought my 2007 SR5 and it had 265/70/17 tires on it with no modifications and did not rub. However, I just added the 1.25" Spidertrax spacers as well as Bilstein 5100s and it rubs quite a bit. I plan on moving the wheel well liner, as described in this post.

Yes and No...

I have 265/70/17 Mickey Thompson ATZ P3's on right now with 1.25" Spidertrax spacers.

Took a heat gun and melted and pushed in the inner splash guards and that pointed plastic trim pc that hangs down...

Gave me enough clearance for everyday driving, but it still rubs when I make sharp corners in a drive-thru or when turning sharp in reverse.

Just about to order the 2.5" Daystar level for the front to get rid of the rubbing completely.

Hope this helps.

Thanks guys for the responses! I think I am going to go for the Kumho Road Venture AT51 in stock size, but can't find 4 tires anywhere! Maybe it's a sign to go bigger and mod the wheelwells or drop the wheel spacers? 😕 Just concerned that the rubbing won't be as simple as just the mentioned mod.
