    I've read several places where these will fit and several places that they won't.
    I have an SR5 with the gray steel wheels.
    I want to put either BFG KO2 or Michelin Defender LTX MS in LT275/70R18E.
    I'm leaning toward the Michelins.
    Will they work with stock suspension and steel wheels with NO RUBBING?

    Also, I'm looking for some TRD take offs (the two tone kind, not the all black PRO).
    If I put 275/70 tires on the steel wheels, and then find the TRD wheels later, will they work on stock suspension and no rubbing as well? IE, are the steel wheels and TRD wheels same/same as far as size goes?
    I really don't want to lift/level right now. I tow a camper and don't want the nose up when towing. Plus I have other upgrades that are more pressing, like an ARE shell.
    Thanks

    This size tires will fit any 18 inch stock tires on stock suspension.

    As I recall, the only time you may have rubbing with size is when you go with really low offset wheels.

    The stock steels and the TRD will be the same offset and dimensions.

    I was running that tire size with no problems before I leveled it out.

    Keep in mind that the TPMS that come on the OEM steel wheels will not work with the TRD aluminum wheels. You'll need new sensors when switching to the TRD wheels. As far as tire size, you'll be fine.
