Need Help! Tire Size Question

[Roadhouse_1]

I've got an 04 4Runner SR5 4WD with 265/65/17 tires. I'm putting a 3" Revtek lift on, and am planning on stepping up my tires to 285/75/17 (BFG A/T). I have no issues trimming the fenders and removing the crappy stock mud flaps. I was also going to put on some wheel spacers to widen my stance a bit. My question is, will the 285's rub on any of my linkages at full throw (or less, God forbid)?

I don't know about that size specifically but the 1st point of contact (after the plastic stuff) is the UCA when the wheel is cut hard. The wheel spacers do change that somewaht. Read around here especially in the "performance zone" page.

Wheel spacers are a bad idea. javascript:smilie('') The steering geometry is designed with respect to all 4 wheels according to the Ackerman Steering Principle. In a turn, the inside wheel needs to turn on a tighter radius than the outside wheel. Wheel spacers change this geometry. You see a lot of people adding wheel spacers and the effect is not great but affects tire wear and cornering ability to some extent.javascript:smilie(':bash:')
