I'm getting ready to upgrade my tires and I know the 285's will fit ok if you have a 3" lift. But has anyone done this with just a 2"? Is there plenty of clearance? I have been planning on running 255?75 R17's, but am curious about the 285's. I am still running stock size.
Thanks!

I wonder about this on my 2017 Tacoma. Some people say absolutely yes while others say oh no it won't work at all. Ugh so frustrating. Good luck.

I have 285s on my 4th gen with 2-2.25” front lift. I’m running the falken wildpeak at3w. 33x11.5” tire. I have aftermarket rims, 17x8 -12 offset I believe. I do not rub the frame, I have about 1/2” to 1/4” till I rub the body mount when stuffed. I removed front mudflaps, did fender liner mod, and beat the back of front fenders in just a small amount (1”) or so till it lined up with body mount. No more rub at all.

Fender liner mod, and a heat gun will eliminate the rub from what I’ve discovered, so long as wheel offset is appropriate. And I guess I got lucky with it not rubbing the frame, as I’ve heard some people do rub the frame. I’ll post some pics.

I'm about to have the same size put on my 5th gen with a 2.5" - 3.0" inch lift, the shop that's helping me recommended a body mount chop to fit the tires properly with my -10 offset wheels. I think a body mount chop is pretty common when fitting larger tires, hope this helps a little.
