Question on 33's

Will they rub my upper control arms without spacers? Thats my main concern at the moment.

Papa I totally agree on those rims. Those will be the ones I get once my Toyota account clears for credit
 
They will rub with stock rims buy nothing too bad. New rims with different backspacing or spacers would help. I don't have either and mine rub a little bit. Probably going to go with spacers for now

Mine rubbed the UCAs, wheel well liner, pinch welds, and front mud flaps in certain situations...1.25" spacers, A little trimming, BFH (fold over pinch weld) and mud flap removal up front fixed my problems for now, haven't had a chance yet to wheel and trail test, fwiw my sway bars are connected. Some pics of the rubbing here http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/204835-16-fj-trail-wheel-285-75-16-combo.html

Also, you may have already done this but if not you probably want to make sure your TBU will fit in that setup. I don't know anyone with those wheels on a 3rd gen that has done it but haven't searched extensively either. There is a thread on here listing successful wheel options for a TBU and last time I checked (>year ago these hadn't yet been tested). You aren't exactly near me >3hr drive but if you swing through S.A. you are welcome to test fit one of my wheels if you would like. (Also I would be curious as the TBU is on my list of to-do's...)
 
Today I finished trimming and hammering so now the only rubbing with my 285s is at full lock and a little on my UCA but no rubbing in the wheel travel or while turning. My wheel wells took a hell of a beating but it is worth it. Now once I lift it I will never have to worry about rubbing issues

Could I put them on and possibly wait for the wheel spacers? Of course after I bfhq the pinch weld. My 5 stars clear the tbu

I had the tires mounted, no obvious rubbing at first (only when wheel fully turned), ordered spacers 1 week later and installed when they arrived. I tried to take it easy with turns until I got them on. Overall, your call...I wouldn't have driven that way indefinitely but it seems like some guys don't really mind.

Heres them on the truck. I'll definitely need wheel spacers and I have yet to start pounding on the pinch weld yet.

As you can see they barely clear the upper control arm just sitting there. Im sure that when you drive and start bouncing they will rub
 
Those are going to rub like crazy up front, you will need to cut the lower valence and flare on front bumper. Along with maybe the rear of fender flare and pinchweld. And like you said different rims or spacers because they will rub at full droop.

Yea. Getting spacers tomorrow and ordering a 1.5inch bodylift. Gonna start pounding and hammering and trimming tomorrow. Should be done tomorrow night. Ill let yall know
 
BFH and an angle grinder did wonders for me but I'm only running 285's. I only rub on the frame and UCA now. I was thinking about trying to find some small wheel spacers like 1/2" but idk if they make those. Or just buy new UCA but that is expensive

Gross.. If you don't actually wheel your truck, you'll have no problems clearing the 295's without a body lift. If you do wheel, the lower the better.

Body lift is one of those last resort type things. Just like wheel spacers. Anything will work with enough work and planning

It's not even funny how many times my body lift has saved my rockers and fenders. Seen others with just 3" lift get hung up on rocks. Amazing how much that little more lift helps.

And it just makes the rig look awesome. After a bit my 3" lift started looking like a 1" lift. The body lift really set off my trucks stance.

At least 650$ for UCAs. Little bit much for me to be spending right now on those. Wheel spacers for now I believe. 1.25 or 1.5?
