Depends on the tire size.
265/65/17 will not rub, guaranteed.
265/70/17 (essentially the same size as 265/75/16) will rub if your suspension sags low enough
They will fit as many of us have them.

As ChildrenOfBodom stated...will rub depending on your tire size choice. Also, keep in mind the offset is higher with these so they will come in a little closer to your control arms. I have 285's with a lift and still had enough room between the tire and the contol arm but ended up going with some spidertrax spacers for additional clearance. What plans do you have for your rig? That would probably help you decide on tire choice?
Thanks for the info, I'm going to just get them. They are cheap and I'll be kicking my self if I don't. They have 265/65/17 Yokahama Geolander A/T-S tires on them now, once they are worn I'll have the 3" lift on and will probably go with 32's since this is my DD also. What size would you recommend with 1" spidertracks? Or without spacers?

Those caps are stupidly fragile.
I've got 6... er... 5 now.
The 4 mine originally came with looked great, but I busted two just like you did.
I got some spares from another Tundra but they were chipping and all effed. I ended up epoxying the clips back together and for a little while I had all 4 in great condition. I lost one offroad after a T4R meet though.
So I have a shitty messed up cap.
Do your best, get some Loctite Epoxy mixer cups and then try to mend them, they're $65 each from the dealer!

Yeah, the bright 112 degree Arizona sun makes everything look lighter. They do look good and almost match the gray part of the 2 tone. What part of NC are you from? I grew up in Swansboro, outside of Jacksonville. (father was a Marine)

Mine came with almost new 285 BFG's. Since this is my DD I thought about downsizing to 265's because I didn't have a lift. Found a really good deal on a lift so I ended up giving into the mod bug completely! So much for being practical with the "DD". The 285's look right at home on the Tundra wheels. You don't have to go with the spacers but I felt better about the extra clearance it gives along with the wider stance. I went with 1.25" spidertrax. However, with the wider stance....now I rub on my front mud flaps when the wheels are turned all the way. I'll be getting a bodylift soon so hopefully that will resolve. Your Runner looks great with them mounted up!! If you go with the 3" lift..32's or 33's should be fine. Just beware of aggressive tire tread designs when running the Tundra wheels. You may want to stick with 32's to be safe.
Yeah, after the lift goes on I'll probably go with 32's, 33's will look nice but this is my DD and trying to keep the MPG's decent.
Amen to that, I love the look. I've only had my 4runner for about a month and already got Tundra wheels, Deckplate mod, and Toytec Ultimate on the way! God I love modding cars! At least this one is cheaper than the Evo 9 I had before this.

I'm addicted to modding too (I guess that's better than drugs but probably just as expensive)!
Nice, I'm just getting in to the 4runner scene, already got the mod bug though. Where do you offroad at? I know some guys from work go out to Watson rd in Buckeye.
I hear that! I had a Evo 9 before the 4runner, parts are pretty damn expensive, plus when you start with a $24K car plus mods, it can get out of hand quick. So glad I got rid of the Evo, only paid 6800 for the 4runner.
