With tires mounted?
No but the wheel cleared caliper and tie rod so it should be no problem , you might loose a bit of your turn radius but that shouldn’t be much .
285/75/16s rubbed in the inside of my rear wheelhousings with 3.5 backspace wheels. 4.5 would be even worse.
From 205R16 (stock tire on most 4 cylinder 70's in Europe) to 285's that is a decent step up so I wouldn't necessarily blame the wheel offset only for that

Fixed my ARB compressor and my rear locker works great. The front locker I can hear leaks from the solenoid and the front diff, but I'm not so sure the air from the front diff is because it doesn't have enough pressure.
All that to say I got stuck.
In the field by my house. We have had rain for 3-4 days and I should have known better turning around in a ditch. Well went down and spun. Fine, turned on the locker, both spun. Locked in the hubs put in 4 and spun and dug down. Sunk down 6"+ on all 4 wheels, slimy sticky mud underneath that grass. Went and grabbed the tundra and had to dig a trench on all wheels to get out.
I think I've decided to go more M/T than A/T. Those BFG's were instantly slicks. All 4 wheels were smooth. Our dirt roads can get nasty out here, so Toyo or Yokohama G003 MT's seem to be it.

I’m ordering the Yokohama’s this summer.

By all accounts the G003's look like a great tire. Pretty close to the Toyo.
Are your wheels the 17x6.5" ones? They do look exactly the same as mine.
Mine fit just fine with 255/75/17... no spacers.
Yes sir. I am getting tires mounted on them around 2pm today. Close to the same size as yours: 255/70/17.
Pics will be required...
Spectacular Matt!
So sexy!!

Cooper Discoverer ST the 255/85/16 is a great setup!
Thought I’d try to be productive today and sort out a vacuum leak since I had the time today. Nope, not productive; rather destructive. Broke my VSV. 
Let me know if you a 24v one that just so happens to be looking for a new home. For the mean time I’ll see how epoxy holds this together.

What do those 255's measure out to?
Up until this last week The STT Maxx were the #1 choice, then I got in mud...
