Well, I just happened to do exactly this tonight.
I had a Bilstein/OME lift installed this last fall. Lift was probably 2.5” front and maybe 2” rear.
I just made the jump from 265/75r16 to 285/70r17 and I put them on 2008 FJ 6-spoke wheels. The stock SR5 wheels were 7” wide at 30mm offset, now my FJ wheels are 7.5” with 15 offset.
Stock UCAs
At full lock on flat surface, I’m rubbing just a little bit of the mud flaps in front. I’m also just barely rubbing when driving and making a 90 degree turn. I haven’t explored how it’s going to rub with articulation but I imagine it will worsen. I plan to heat my mudflaps and flatten them.
No rubbing on UCA on this setup with street driving. I plan on playing around on Tuesday in daylight to see where I’m at and what I’ll have to do next.
I should also note that I have a high clearance front bumper mounted so that eliminates rubbing up front.
Jury is still out on if I’ll have to do the body chop.
