Fitting 285/45/22?? Must lift? Or can I use spacers in the front???

[MercuryEvo]

I'm planning on putting 285/45/22 tires on my 07 4 runner, but I need it to be at least level. I really just want to get .75" to 1.25" spacers but will that be enough? I know I also have to zip tie fender liners away from the tires but will spacers be enough height wise? I just want the truck to sit level. Its either spacers or cornfed but I wont have this truck in 18 months and I dont feel like uninstalling a cornfed, I'll leave the spacers in if anything. LMK!!

Whats the spacing on the rims, depending on that you might not need spacers although you probably will.

i have 285's with an offset rim and had to lift and trim... what is the overall height of the tire???

 

[MercuryEvo]

What do you mean offset rim? What offset are your rims? 285/45/22 breaks down to a 32" overall diameter if my memory serves me correctly.

 

[Barela]

My rim has 4.5" backspacing. Meaning it is shallow enough no to rub on the inner components of the drive assy. Annd my over all height is a 33" tire.

like i said, pm fo sheezy, he has 22s on his ride, i believe hes one of only a few that have that large a rim size. im pretty sure hes running 285/45/22 & im sure he can help you out . good luck
