I believe it's the frame, feels like inside/rear of the wheel well, and it's pretty light. It has not been an issue on any trails since I've had them for the past couple years.

Good to know. My current wheels are 17x8 with 0 offset so close to yours. Hopefully similar or less rubbing considering the specs.
I don't think I have as much lift as you though. My Ironman FCP kit was the 2-3" lift but it has settled since new. Hopefully won't negatively impact whether there's rubbing or not.
I had 35x12.50r17 Yokohama MTs on -10 off set with zero issues. Just get a BMC and a good alignment and you’re good to go. I also had the Ironman uca.
I'm going to sound entirely naive but I didn't realize they can be cranked back up. Is there an instruction manual somewhere for this or is it just compress spring, adjust position, done?Mine settled some too, so I cranked them back up. I have the Ironman adjustment wrench if you wanna swing by and borrow it
Stock LCAs?
Yes stock LCAs. Ironman basic lift kit (2.5") with their UCA. Good alignment and aggressive BMC got me to run 35s with no issues. I did the same to our 4runner to run 35" KO2s.
Awesome, good to hear!
Yup, I have a lot of weight and my suspension has settled in the 7 years I've had it, so I'm guessing you should be okay considering your new tires a wee bit narrower than mine..
Forgot to mention that having the alignment caster moved forward helps!
Down in my area, it seems most off road shops that work on Toyota's, since ALL Toyota's have IFS, all know about the caster forward trick.
Check in your area for an off road shop that does Toy's.
They are adjustable. It is a bit of a chore to do it without removing them from the vehicle, but I have done it successfully a couple times. You need the Ironman wrench that fits the holes on the adjustment ring, and WD40 on the shock threads helps a lot. I used a big pipe wrench for additional leverage, and of course jacked the vehicle up so the wheels were off the ground.

I ended up going with 285-75r17s
Bumping this thread. Have an opportunity to test the BFG KO3s in 285/75/17 or 35x11.5R17 (new size), or just play it safe and go 285/70/17.
Either of the two larger sizes would add roughly 10 lbs/corner and obviously a bunch of extra size over the 255/80/17s on the GX now.
Anyone running 35s have thoughts on how much this will impact things?

Planning on going from my 34s to 35s with my next set of shoes.
Still need to do bump stops, pinch weld and washer reservoir.

I presently have the KO3's in 315/70R17. Have had them since COVID, since the BFG's I had, 285/80R17's could not be found, literally, anywhere in North America at the time. I would not go down in size so the obvious option was to go big or go home!
Hence the KO3's 315/70R17 I now have.
They absolutely suck MORE gas! Even though I have my rig properly lifted, trimmed and aligned, I still get a wee bit of rubbing at lock to lock on what seems like the frame or control arms. It's not bad enough for me to have ever checked it out.
Note: you will need to at least move your caster forward when you go in for an alignment.
Other than that, they've been great tires, but... I will be going back down to the 285/80R17's when these are done.
Hope this helps.
I've been running 35x11.5x17s for several years now. It's about as big as you can feasibly go without major alterations. Not sure I would do it for a DD but I am happy with it for a dedicated trail rig. Not sure which "things" you are asking about, it impacts lots of things. You need the right wheel offset, UCAs, washer bottle relocate, pinch weld massage, wheel well liner trim, LCA cam bolt adjustment to move the tire forward, front bumper, suspension lift (and all that entails) come to mind, and maybe a reinforced spindle if you are going to wheel it...
I do have somewhat accelerated tire wear in the front due to all these changes, most probably due to the LCA adjustment. My alignment shop insisted on moving the wheel back an inch or so to get proper alignment, and I said screw that I need the clearance and moved them all the way forward again.
