    I am installing a spacer lift 3in front 2.5 rear and want to fill the wheel well without mods. What is the best size tire, rim and offset for rims?

    Welcome to the forum from Wisconsin!

    You might actually be better off with 2-2.5" lift in the front, so you can get the alignment in spec with stock upper control arms.

    Here's a video with a lot of good information about fitting tires.

    Filling the wheel well for a “street” look would probably be better accomplished by lowering it or leaving at stock height. That said, I dont think you could get that look without some chopping, cutting, etc.

    Watch the video, and the others on that channel.

    What works on Jeeps doesn’t work here as you have different binding constraints.

    Another Wisconsin welcome. Here is a picture of 3"/2" lift with 275/70's, JBA uca's to get the alignment specs right though.20200905_161649[511] 4Runner.jpg A bit of uneven ground, but the wheel wells are kind of filled.

    Very nice. I did a 2” front and 1.5” in rear with 285/70/17s. Stock UCAs, no chop or cuts and maintained all mudflaps.

    Just for a fun comparison, here is a pic of my rig with 2" lift and 265-70-17. No rubbing and no cutting required....

    Welcome. The best solution for this is the Limited trim at stock height.
