Thanks for the details, I’m doing the same. How did you attach the Lexus logos to the Sr5 center caps?

It rubbed. I had to trim the stock running boards. Seems to be rubbing a little on the upper controll arms when turned sharp. Thinking about going down a size or 2.....

18x9 FN BFDs @ 0 offset

Heat gun and a Dremel cutter for the rubbing, all is well.

Stock UCA? Very seldom you turn your wheel all the way. I would live with it.
Max out your caster from LCA. That will bring the wheel forward a bit and increase clearance to body mount.
Swear this thing should be running Pike's Peak or something.
The UCA is the one rocky
The UCA is the one rocky road makes. I got it aligned. Not sure if they did what you are saying on the caster. Thanks for the advice. I was thinking about cutting some of the body mount then welding in flat metal at an angle to gain some clearance. Then maybe some spacers....just do not like the look of spacers.
If you have fixed UCA most likely they do not max the caster. I like SPC adjustable because of that. Maybe rocky road UCA is similar designs as JBA. They are known to rub if you run it with less than -12 offset.
I would not add spacer to your +4 wheels. That would only cause more issues. To be honest i think that is the best offset that balance wider stance and minimal scrub radius.
What about switching to 255 80 17? Little talker but more narrow so I think that would help on the rubbing of UCA's and would be further away from the back part of the fender well where the body mounts too... So do I just keep the size I gave or go to the 255 80 17. Need to decide by Tuesday.
Go tall ‘n skinny.
I have 255-75/17, and love them.
IMO, Toyota trucks look better with the 9-10” wide, tall tires.
The 255.80.17 by toyo. The at3 are 10 ply. Does anyone have them? Does it make for a rough ride, like how much rougher the the 6ply 285's I have now. They are going fo a 70 height side wall to 80... Any thoughts?
Also worried about the weight. Will the 255 10ply weigh more than the 285 6ply?
Previous owner installed the 2 or 2.5" Dobinsons and the (i think) 2017 4Runner TRD 17" wheels. I put the 265/70 17" BFG A/T KO2's on there. They are the softer/lighter load rating at 112 instead the of the 121... I think. Rides greats. Little stiff but its a truck after all. These pics are from Jan/Feb.

I've been thinking of these tires as well - I like the taller, narrower look. Also a 245/75-17 - not sure if any of these clear stock suspension height with stock wheels. Been searching this size range and can't find anything. Do you think the 255/80-17 will clear the fenders/liners/internals? Only 10mm narrower than stock, but a fair bit larger in diameter. I am looking at a couple of GX 470s right now, one will need tires soon, so if I get that may do something taller/narrower. Love to hear from anyone that has any of these sizes mounted on stock wheels/stock suspension...Heading the other direction than the majority.... Bought the truck from another Mud member last week and it was wearing 285/75/17s on Black Rhino Armory wheels, with a BIG offset. Running OME 2.5" lift with JBA UCAs.

I was a big tire guy myself once, but I was lucky enough to be in a unit in the military that sent us to several advanced off-road driving courses (where I got spoiled with right hand drive Defender 90s...) and then drove Prados, LCs, and Hilux all over the middle east and Africa. The one common theme (besides being all Toyotas) was thin, tall tires. I fell in love with the 235/85/16s, (and on the right truck, 255/85/16). Also just aesthetically not a fan of shoving huge, fat tires in the wheel well just because I have the clearance. Lastly, I really enjoy keeping the truck as unassuming as possible, because it makes off roading it with the Jeep guys that much more satisfying
First thing I did with the new rig is take off the big 285/75s and go back to the factory wheels and throw on 235/80/17 Cooper Discover ST Maxx. These tires are amazing. E load rides a tad stiffer, but not having to lug around those 285 at low speed parking lots is worth it. The factory offset also puts the wheels back under the wheel well, so I don't get the truck covered in mud every time I drive through a 1" puddle. Full size spare is easy to store and handle. Testing them out in Big Bend next month.
I know the pizza cutters aren't for everyone, but I put function over looks, and I have seen these size tire perform some pretty amazing feats. The techs at Discount Tire came out three times to make sure these are the ones I wanted put on the truck. Being Texas and all, and the parking lot full of lifted F 350s on 37"s, I definitely got some funny looks.
Once this tires wear out, and I have progressed more on the build of the truck, I may consider bumping up to the 255/80/17.

I run 255/80R17 Toyo Open County II. It's 33.1" tall and fit with stock suspension with no rubbing. The truck already have LCA set to max caster, front fender liner moved forward and running board removed.
This tire got very mild pattern and being in Ohio I seen lots of mud. So far it have performed above expectations. Not that this tire is so awesome but the narrow thread definitely help and not a hype. Similar vehicle with wider tires seems to have harder time than me.
