Love this stance. Any more photos?275/70/18 KO2's on stock wheels with 1.25" Spidertrax wheel spacers and the OEM 10mm front coil spacer.
Did you do the coil spacer because of rubbing?
275/70/18 will fit totally stock. Only minor rubbing would be on front mudflap.
The coil spacer is 0,39” but suspension geometry results in close to 1” of lift in the front. Which I measured before and after.

Didn’t know you ran front strut spacers tex. What’s your feedback on them?
Why did you put them on aren’t you stock height?
Right, I just didn't know if the tire size with the addition of a wheel spacer would make it rub

I am running 275/70/18 Toyo AT3 with 1.25 spidertrax and OEM spacers - there is an ever so slight rub and full lock in reverse on the front plastic part of the fender liner. I drove around for months without fixing it with no ill effect. It is curable with minimal effort and a heat gun.
I actually removed the front flaps prior to installing the OEM spacer so I can't say for sure if it rubbed there too prior to spacer install.
I can get a few more for you tomorrow, I'll post them here. I added the spacer simply to level out the truck and reduce the front biased rake. It's keeping me mildly content until I lift it for real lol. It only rubs in reverse with the wheel cut hard, not a big enough deal for me to even bother with to be honest.
I like them, cheap and easy add. I am stock height, I just wanted to eliminate the front biased rake and these did exactly that.
Once resettled I only gained 5/8", YMMV.
@Flinthills - I have a set of 1.25” Spidertrax spacers for sale in the classifieds section if you’re still looking.
SOLD - Seattle: 4x 5x150 1.25” Spidertrax wheel spacers
A set of 4 Spidertrax blue aluminum 5x150 1.25” wheel spacers. Used on my Land Cruiser 200 for less than a year. I bought new wheels/tires and no longer need the spacers. Fit Tundra & Sequoia. Prefer local pick up, but will ship at buyer’s expense from 98112. $200 for all 4 spacers.

Here was my truck with 275/70R18s, the 1.25” spacers, and a lift.

Why are some of you guys, like to previous poster, using wheel spacers on stock Toyota wheels? I thought they were only needed when the back spacing was wrong, because you were wanting aftermarket wheels. I must be missing something.
The taller The tire the less offset you want. The sweet spot for a 34-35” tall tire is a 1-1.25” spacer on OEM wheel. Also, some just do it for the looks, preferring the tire to stick out more.

Stock back spacing is wrong. I said it. #noragerts
it's ostensibly to reduce the differential in the scrub radius, but I suspect most are running a lower positive offset for poke.
It’s completely wrong and shopping cart all over the road. I applaud you for saying so actually.
The 300 finally fixed this and is actually flush apparently like every other non Toyota truck out there.
Even just visually looking at a stock LC vs a Tahoe or something it looks so weak.
So I am running a 33" tire on the stock wheel, and it did not rub anywhere before I added my 3/4" spacer. Now that I have the spacer installed, I immediately had to remove the front mud flaps and still get a little rubbing at full lock. Are you guys with 1.25" spacers not rubbing all over the place?
I agree it looks much better, and the 3/4" spacer puts the tire perfectly flush with the fenders. However, due to the rubbing, I am probably going to remove them. Not worth it IMO

Looks like you discovered the paradox of wheel offset. Intuitively, pushing the wheel out may seem like it buys more room. The reality is that the tire swings more (rather than pivots in place) when turning and using lower offsets.
There are other reasons for the spacer in your situation however. I assume you're using stock wheels (+60), so a 3/4" spacer puts your effective offset at ~40mm.
Part of the game when increasing wheel diameter is two-fold. Correcting suspension geometry so scrub radius is preserved. And increase track width to better manage the higher center of gravity cause by tire lift.
I'm generally against spacers and too much offset, but in your case, a .75" spacer may be worth the effort. It's reasonably simple plastic massaging to buy that little bit more room.
Proper alignment along with the 1.25" spacers and it only rubs in reverse at or near full lock turn. I removed the front mud flaps simply because I didn't like the way they looked. I have since added the OEM 10mm front coil spacers solely to eliminate some of the front biased rake and it didn't have any impact on rubbing.
