    Greetings again all.

    I'm going to be in the market soon for some tires for my 2019 TDR 4x4, and I'm thinking of picking up the new KO3 tires, in 275/70/R18 size. I have a 2.5" suspension lift on the front and 1" in the rear. I'm currently running stock tires and wheels.

    I'm wondering what kind of rubbing issues I might have, would they be eliminated/mitigated with new wheels as well (and if so, which ones to get), and what kind of other mods I'd need to do to accomodate those tires.

    I had absolutely no rubbing with 275-70-18 KO2s when my 2020 TRD Pro was stock. I added 1.25” wheel spacers and lifted the front another 2” and the rear about 4” and still no rub. Once I put on 295-70-18 tires, there’s been a very slight rub. It is not enough to bug me.

    These are the only pics I could find on my phone showing the 275-70-18 KO2s.

    I’m running Toyo ATIII 35/12.5/r18 with 1.25 spacers and ICON UCA 3” lift with no rubbing. Before the spacers slight rubbing full lock. Not a fan of the spacers and thinking of going down to 295/70/r18 with same brand tire.
