285/75/16 on TRDs

I'm looking at putting 285s on my stock TRDs with a 2-2.5" lift. Do I have to worry about rubbing on the control arms or an other parts of the suspension. I know the Tacoma guys have had trouble with factory rims with too much backspacing making the tires rub. Is this the case for FJs?

I have the 17 inch wheels and do not have an issue. There is about 1/2 inch clearance between the tire and control arm.

You will be fine.

I have had no problems with mine.

I just put 285/75/16 Firestone M/T's on my TRD wheels last week and they fit fine. There is about half inch between tire and control arm, and no body mount rub.

Great thanks guys

I looked at it last night and I think the thing it would hit is the outer most part of the upper a-arm. Wasn't sure how the combo of the wider tire and lift would work as far as putting the sidewall right next to the arm but it sounds like I'll be good.

you guys running the 285/75/16s, are your FJ's lifted? I'm about to buy the same rim/tire combo and dont want to lift it, or chop mounts etc. Should it work on an FJ with stock ride height?
