I recently got the same BFG 255/85R16 MTR's on TRD wheels and thought I would add a few comments to this thread.

I'm suprised the spare fits on the back. It clears the bumper? Did you use a spacer so the window will still open?

No problems, no spacer. Fits fine and rear window clears.

Mine are exactly the same, speedo is spot on with the 255/85/16's (33") according to GPS and roadside radar. I can only assume that is what Toyota was thinking, upgrade that rubber...

That's surprising... The difference between my stock Dunlop 265/70R17's and my BFG 255/85R16 MTR's is very real.
With the 255/85R16's my GPS indicates I am going faster than the vehicle speedometer, and the GPS odometer records more mileage than the vehicle odometer. Not surprising, given the differences here.

How far have you aired down with this 255/85/16 setup? I'm often at 12-15psi and am wondering if the tire bulge at that pressure will rub or not.

I did some easy wheeling this past weekend (no flexing with wheels off the ground) at 14psi and I had significantly less tire bulge than when I ran the stock Dunlop's at 17psi. The BFG side-walls are sturdier. I still have the stock suspension, stock front bumper and I haven't run these tires with the front sway-bar removed. That said, I've had no tire-rub yet. I suspect I'll get a bit of rub on the plastic behind the front bumper in a hard turn with severe flex. But, when I get an after-market front bumper that plastic will be cut out.
