So I have the toyotec 3" sitting in my garage it's getting put on this weekend! Im going to be running 285/70/17 nitto terr which are used so maybe isnt stead of 33 like 32. 5(dont know if it makes a different) with trimming do i STILL need 1.25 wheel spacers?

Another thing I'm plan on getting 20% on my front two windows, and 5% on the very back with a 5% strip on the front. Is that 5 on the very back going to make the rest noticeably darker?

I personally would not go that dark on the back. My last vehicle had factory privacy glass which was about 35%, I added 20% to that and could barely see behind me at night. Especially if you do a lot of night driving, I would stick to a lighter percentage.
I plan on adding 35% to the Toyota provided "privacy glass" in back of my 4th Gen. I'm sure that will make it more than dark enough to keep prying eyes out.

I went with 20% on the back which the tint guy said would equate to about 5% overall. Truthfully I would go 5% on the sides and maybe 20% on the rear. But then again it's dark here in Tucson as we have no street lights due to the observatories, so when there is no moon sometimes I just have to roll the rear window down. So if you don't mind needing to roll down the back window 5% is what I would do again.

As far as the wheel spacers, I just installed mine with my 285/70's this weekend. You will need to trim plus probably remove the front mud flap. Also you will NEED the wheel spacers, as I was about 1/4" from rubbing on the UCA and that little nub on the spindle. But when I took my truck through a dirt field just to see how it ate up the dirt, I did notice the tires had rubbed on the UCA. Better safe than sorry!
