No spacers with this setup. Before this I had 255 80 with spacers and it looked right. When these were installed the shop they still had the spacers on, but I took them off as it was sticking out a bit too much for my liking. I really like the look and stance with the 285's and no spacer on this wheel.

Thanks for the info! Stock suspension?
It's got a 2" OME lift w/ springs in the back. (should have put that info in the original post)
I'm going to add some sliders and some skid plates soon. I also have a SSO hidden winch bumper that I've never installed either, just havn't got around to it yet. Thanks for checking it out.

Does anybody make a 255/80-17 that is not a load range E? When I had my 100 I did a 2" OME lift w Terra Grapplers load E. Not Sure if it was the OME springs or the 10 ply tires, but the ride went to **** on road. Looking to do a budget 2" lift on new to me 120. Debating 265/70 or 255/80 on stock wheels.
Negative, the skinny 33 application derives from dual-rear wheel trucks which all run load range E.
Was the OME lift heavy duty? If so that was the cause of the terrible ride. Happened to me with the HD OME lift.
One of my concerns was what the maximum tire size was that I could fit in the spare compartment. I tried 255/80 with no lift and it was a no go. I have since added Eibach ProTruck lift and now it fits!
my question, and if this a hi jack I’ll post it somewhere else…how much clearance should I have? This is literally a 1-2 credit card thickness gap.
Truck: 08, no KDSS, Eibach Pro, factory tow package
tire: Cooper ST Maxx 255/80, E rated, with about 25k
You could consider air down your spare to give it more clearance then air back up if you need to use it.

My 33” spare rubs the crap out of my panhard. Been fine for years.
empty all air out of the tire and ratchet strap it around the tread to suck the diameter in a bit
Looks awesome. I have that same tire size on my 4Runner and love it, although I am running wheel spacers which greatly improved the look in my opinion. How do those M/T's ride? I've read mixed reviews on themSorry about the premature post.

Just put them on today so don’t have a strong opinion one way or he other yet. They seem to ride nice around town. I’m hoping to get out into the mountains this weekend after we finally get some rain so should have a good idea of there performance after that.
Ive gone back and forth on spacers. What size are you running?
Yes, i believe it was .
I have 1.25" spacers on my 4runner with the FJ 8-hole wheels. Have a set of 1.5"spacers that will be going on my GX soon.
That looks great! I think for now I’m going to go without spacers on my GX. I did about 100 mile dirt road run this weekend in the rain and mud and I like how the tires fit flush to the outsides of the wheel well. It saved the side of vehicle from getting coded in mud but they still look very nice. By the way, the Kenda tires did really well. After I had my alignment done, the truck drive really well and the tires balanced out just fine. A little road noise but nothing that bothers me too much. They did great on the dirt and mud.
I just picked up a set of 5 Firestone Destination MT2 in 255/75 17 that came off a 2021 Jeep. The tires have 480 miles on them. The 5th was mounted on my Lexus spare and fit nicely under neath fully inflated. I’ll be picking up another set of SR5 wheels to mount the Firestones on and will use them during the winter due to the good reviews they get for snow/ice performance.
Yeah that's my only complaint about running spacers. But I can live with it
my paint is already s*** anyways 
Cool hope the Kenda's perform well for you. I've got a set of their R/T's for my GX. My buddy just put some on his FJ and really likes them so far
