OK, so I think I'm gonna put on the Donahoe Racing Suspension kit, but since I live in NYC, I won't be lifting and I prefer not to trim or change bumper, etc. What's the biggest tire I can get on there using stock 17"'s?
I've searched, but it seems like as often as this comes up, people are always lifting or trimming, etc.

Re: Wheel sizes?? How big w/o lift.
Well I believe you'll really enjoy those donahoes. but onto your question. I think you'll find the consensus here is 285-70/17's will be the biggest without trim or any issues. You can search high and low, but some have found success with that size without trimming others have not.
This past weekend I mounted 275/70/17 Goodyear Wrangler MT/R's on my BBS rims. No worries what so ever and they look freakin' great!!! I would say 275 is the limit if you do not want to install a lift or do any mods. I will post pics soon. Good luck!
I tried to get ahead of the game and got fitted for 285/70/17's (BFG KO's)today but they rubbed on the frame right behind the wheel. The Donahoe's are in the mail as we speak; is that gonna alleviate the problem?
I don't understand why people here get some problem with 275 or even 285 because I just finish a test with a MTZ 33 12.5 /17 (305/65/R17) on stock alloy!!!!
They rub on the plastic protector of the body mount only if I remove it, no rub on the frame or UCA???
I believe if you change the wheel for another size (more then 7.5” rim) and backspace (<> 4.5”) or add spacers it will generate body mount problem.
For lift, I conclude that a 2" lift on front don't make a big difference because of lot of reasons.
To be sure of what I told you here, let me test the setup and I will post my final test result in 2-3 week.

This depends on the tires you put on is what I found. I have read that the Nitto's at 285's do not rub without a lift or any cutting. You "might" have to trim some plastic, but tha'ts nothing. I have 285's on order and I'm not lifting based on what I read here, so I hope they don't rub

Now for the real deal...they do rub and now I have to lift my FJ. I treid to get them installed today, and no go...too much rub.
Prior to lifting, I was running 285/70/17 Hankook Dynapro MT on stockers. Minor rubbing on the plastics covering the body mount. Now that it's lifted, no rubbing at all. However, I still plan on doing the body mount chop.
