I am running a set of 33x12.50x15 factory Toyota SR5 wheels. I put them on last night and did not make it home befor the fronts went falt. The upper control arm put a ring into the tire and down they went. I am running a 3 inch Trail Master IFS lift kit. I guess I will have to go back to my 15x8 aftermarket wheels or spend $180 on nice wheels spacers. I just love the factory look. Any one else have this problem? Love to hear ideas! I will try to post pics soon. Thanks.
Wheels and tires don't fit!

But they should fit even on the stock rim... Got pics of the lift, thats most likely the problem. Pushing the upper a arm into the back of the tire where normally they would be down by the rim. Thats why most lifts tell you to get new rims...
Or you could do what Ike did:

Sounds like costly mistake. Hopefully they werent to spendy.
Did not cost anything on the tires. But I am still planning on useing the factory wheels but on another Toyota. So just time wasted! For Now.. I put a set of factory port wheels and tires from a 2007 FJ Cruiser I had laying around and they fit for now. I will be going back to 33's as soon as I have my new wheels picked up.

My balljoint spacer definitely put the upper control arms into the tires. If you really to run those rims and tires, look into trimming and boxing your UCA.
