Curious if 285/75/17 on Method Wheels at +35 offset will fit stock suspension without issue? Not looking to touch suspension at the moment.
 
I'm not so sure. I have 285/75/r17 with Method wheels and the Westcott lift. I have no rub but at certain angles of the wheel it looks too close for comfort. Nothing has been removed from the inner wheel hub.

Did you get the signature preloaded collar lift kit? The one that lifts the front by 2.5” and the back by .75”?

Can you go a bit more into how it looks too close for comfort? What angles and where does it get too close?

I’m thinking about getting this exact set up on my OT+: Westcott lift, 17inch method 703 wheels, and 285/75r17 AT K03 tires.

It should fit but might be tight. Some people have put on 285/70R18 on LC250s. This tire size will not fit in the spare location.

Yes, to the first question. It's the preloaded collar lift kit. 2.5" front and .75" back The closest it comes to a rub is when the wheels are turned completely left or right. It's hard to get a good picture but I will try to do that this weekend when we are in the desert. At these points the tire comes within a 1/4" of the fender insert. I have now driven it off-road and on-road about 3k miles with this set up and I cannot see any evidence of rub. Hope this helps.

I was under the impression this would fit at just under 34". I guess in a pinch you can save some money on the spare and you'll just have diffs spinning a little on the way to the shop.

Thanks that’s super helpful! I think this is the best setup without going overboard on mods.

Have you noticed any change in fuel efficiency since adding the bigger tires? I’m averaging about 15.6 mpg. Anything significantly worse than that could be concerning.
