    Well...finally got it done...waited 2 1/2 months on various parts that were on back order. Also, spent a lot of time here trying to figure out the right size and it all paid off. Not too many 305/70s around...even when searching Google.

    I spoke to a few people here and went with it. No rubbing and no BMC needed. Mud flaps removed and some fender plastic was tucked into the front bumper...ride is amazing and feels completely different from the 275/70s I was running...I plan on doing a thorough cleaning on a photoshoot on Friday...these are fresh from the shop...!!

    I know this thread hasn't been replied to in awhile, but I have a question I was hoping someone could answer. I'm looking to go with this exact setup, but I have a 4in Rough Country lift on my 4x4 2019. I had planned to do the Method 701 18x9 with KM3 305/70/18. Does anyone know if there would he fitment issues with backspacing or rubbing on the UCA? I've read so many conflicting things that it's frustrating, and Rough County's website isn't very helpful with recommended offset or backpacking requirements. Thanks in advance!

    I added the stock stuff that I have right now and what the new setup would be and it looks like it would clear a little more than stock. Why do you think I would need aftermarket? And would it be easier to go with 295/70/18 instead?

    Pretty sure you’ll clear it without new uca …I’m running 35x11.5R20 on +10 offset. If I input the methods as 18s +25 offset through the calculator you used, it says you’d be .84” closer to the suspension than my setup if you run 305/70R18. I have over 1.5” to my uca…so you’d have roughly .75” space which is more than enough. I’m basically a 3/1 level kit with my suspension.

    1P7R9O4, that's exactly what I needed to know and that answers my question, thank you! When the suspension travels, does that move the UCA closer to the tire, or does it always stay the same distance away?

    Stays the same distance away…I actually had my 35x11.5R20 tires temporarily on Tundra TSS wheels with +50 offset while I waited for my wheels to come in and still had clearance on my stock uca. I really don’t think you’ll have any issues.

    that left me with about 1/4” clearance

    You’re welcome; congrats on your new order—always exciting when you finally get it narrowed down to what you want. Post up pics when you get them on. What color Tundra do you have?

    MGM SR5. Only mods so far is the lift, Alpharex LED's and some interior parts. New front bumper is next I think.

    its the alignment and clearance might only come into play at droop. Most shops have no clue.
