I have a 00 4runner with an ome 3 in lift. I was told that 285/75-16 would fit and they do but I kept the stock rims so my back spacing isn't the best and I have a 1/4 inch maybe between my tire and my UCA. I am looking for spacer help. I am not sure what size i should go with. If anyone can help me with figuring it out please do.

I searched the form and most run spidertrax in 1.25 or 1.5 I feel the smaller would be best.
I hope this helped.

If it't not touching now it's not going to touch later. Did you already have an alignment? Don't be fooled by the spacer talk. When I got my 285/75-16's people told me I had to have spacers so I wouldn't contact the UCA's, and I bought some. I also took them off and sold them the day after I got my alignment since I didn't need them.
Your correct but I don't have that option right now other then grinding down the UCA. I live on a small island and new rims would run me about 300 in shipping alone. I am only thinking spacer till i transfer out of alaska but with that being said the speed limit here is 35 so spacer aren't probably and issue for the next 2 years till I move. I have only put 400 mile on the car in the 8 months i owned it. I can't wait for new rims and UCA.

I had the same issue and just threw a pair of something similar to these on as a temporary fix:

That was 40k miles ago and still going strong. They are only 1/4 inch and the tires will still rub at full droop but it was cheap and easy. There is a spec - I think you have to get three full turns of the lug before contacting the wheel to make sure your lug still has enough grip.
I will be going to a full 1.25 hub-centric spacer when I move to 295/70's

Discount Tire Direct has free shipping on everything, and all the time is you want new wheels. Pick up some 1-1/4 spacer and you'll be fine. You'll need to get HUBCENTRIC spacers, and nothing but HUBCENTRIC.

It looks like the tire rubs pretty good at full droop.
SpiderTrax Spacers 1.25 inch ones is what I would recommend, outside of different wheels or a new UCA. They are about $100 for a pair and to make the front and back match you would obviously need two pairs. No idea about shipping to where you are at. Also if you search the forums you can typically find a used pair for cheaper.

Everyone thanks for the help. I am going to buy 1.25 hub-centric spacers. I will let you all know how it works out when I get them. I am sure it will take a little more then a week. Thanks all.

Actually to even it out you'd want 1.25" in the front and 1.5" in the rear. The rear is about 5/8" narrower than the front.
I have heard about that. Thanks.

I switched to a 1.25 hub-centric spacer as well so I could run my new Toyo 295/70's. I'll be curious how much cutting you have to do to get rid of rub. I had to dice my front inner fender and trim up about 6 inches, and grind down the pinch weld at the lower rear of the well. Happy with the results though!
