I've been told you will have minor rubbing, but can trim just a bit on the front of the wheel well and it'll fit. My tires are the same dimensions as the 265/70 BFG and they clear nicely with a 2" spacer up front.
 
This has been discussed MANY times here on the forum so I would recommend doing a quick search for more details.

IMO, b/w those two tires, the BFT MAY rub due to its sqaured shape. Some owners report slight rubbing and some don't...it tends to vary as most 4runners are not exactly the same. However, the Terra Grappler should be fine at stock. I can't recall anyone reporting any major rubbing issues.

The above information is assuming no wheel spacers. Once you introduce wheel spacers into the equation, you also introduce a different type of rubbing due to the tires new position further out in the wheel well. This is normally done to a)Clear the UCA and b)to get rid of the "sucked in" look. This is only my opinion as I dont have either of these tires/wheel spacers yet but have done a lot of research so do with it what you will.

EDIT: I just realized that you may have meant a spacer lift and not wheel spacers. If so, you will definately be fine without it to run any 265/70 tire from a significant rubbing standpoint. Looks wise...thats a whole other area.

ive got the nittos, and i have very very slight rubbing when at full lock on turn. other than that nothing.
 
I run 32's and it was rubbing slightly. It's so easy to trim. I used a paid of metal cutters, but even sharp scissors would work. The inner fender plastic is paper thin. I went wild and cut much it it off (esp. on the drivers side).
 
I just got the 265/70/17 nitto TG installed a couple of weeks ago and have no rubbing at all. I have a stock 2wd 06 SE with no suspension mods...yet.
