What size tires are you running on these? any rub? etc. I'm looking to go with the same but want to ensure no rubbing. Thank you!

LT285/70R-17 BFGOODRICH ALL-TERRAIN T/A KO2 C
Initially had slight rubbing of front plastic mud flaps at full lock. Attempted molding the interference areas back half an inch with a heat gun but they always returned to original position eventually. Did not want to remove the mud flaps. Ultimate fix was drilling a small hole in the mud flap interference area and pulling it back half an inch with a large black zip tie - virtually invisible. Never touched it since, going on 2.5 years now.
Wheel choice is very personal. I'd say do what looks/feels right to you. I have 18" TRD tundra wheels but looking at pictures, something about that extra 1/2" of sidewall just looks right, so I'll be making the switch to 17's. Especially coming from my 80 which had 35's on a 16" wheel. (bronze icon order mentioned earlier in this thread was cancelled in favor of holding out for my preferred color).
Grey 200 series.
Cant decide bronze vs silver vector5. Any recommendations?

I love the subtle look of the titanium Vector color on your grey...
Titanium does look great!

Are these the "black' or "titanium"?
That looks really good as is. Before your lift comes, how much rubbing/cutting did you have to do?

Tons of rub before some massaging and molding.
You need to Remove front flaps, hammer back bracket behind front flap, heat the front liners and push them back. The front right is kissing the KDSS bar but nothing serious.
I would say unless you’re willing to do some molding, light cutting, and reshaping of the bracket then stick with 285/70/17 or similar. I think it’s common knowledge now that a lift doesn’t buy you any more tire clearance for the body, so testing it before a lift is the best way.

Got it! Thank you for the info. Have a good day.
Looks good. Is this stock height? I’m on the fence of keeping stock and going this size tire or going up 2inch and going 285-75
Looks good. Where do you rub?
Installed the titaniums wrapped in Defender ltx ms2 LT285/70/17 Es.
Color-matched wrap on side chrome trim @ same time.
Love it in person. Contrary to my expectations before going from P to LT for the first time, these Es ride amazing. Fits perfectly to edge of wheel well with a nice view of the tread pattern with that 25mm offset.

Here is one with her out having fun. 285/70/17. Think they are just over 32 inch total not quite a full 33.
Bought them before I had the lift and front and rear bumpers. So was really not wanting to rub. Now that I have lift and bumpers I will replace with a true 33 or even 34. Although I am nearing garage height so there will be some calculations to do.
