Last ones. The truck looks amazing, but I have less than an inkpen worth of space on one side at full turn. I’m not ok with it. I get my alignment tomorrow and I’ll update things but I wouldn’t have done this if I knew it would be that close.

Weird. I ran much larger tires with more space.

I think it will. Your caster may be off (not positive enough). If it were me I’d ask for the most positive caster possible within spec. Because I know many many of us can run 33s easy peasy within the caster spec. I think I can run 34s without even needing to remove that crash plate.
Scroll down to the caster part of this article:

Would an alignment be sufficient or do I need to make mention, etc.?
That’s the tricky part. I also plan to tweak around with my caster to fit bigger tires later down the road. I’m just not sure whether that will explode the mind of the toyota intake service tech. What I would do is go to a highly rated alignment shop and explain what you’re trying to do — that is, get the most positive caster you can while remaining within toyota manufacturing specifications. You can try doing that at the dealership but my experience is that they are colossally lazy and stupid and don’t care— they will nod and smile and proceed to make minor adjustments to the extent something is outside of spec (and you may NOT be outside spec). It may be enormously frustrating. But that may just be in Texas.
Please let us know what happens and show us the before and after alignment specs - it would be incredibly valuable information to this community.
Alignment got done. The tires are CLOSE, both in front and in back, but they clear. It might just be the wildpeak AT4W C load that I chose, but it’s still closer than you’d believe.
I think +25 offset is just too much. I wish I had a +35 to compare. They’re also at 38 psi so I’m cutting that back to see. The ride is rough as heck right now.
can someone else post pics of their tires full turn on each side? Maybe share measurements?
It really does look great though.

That looks normal to me. It’s not too close at all. Yes the C load is a true 33 (versus a 32.8) in that size so it’ll be closer than the average 285/70/17 but that is not that close . When I ran 33.43” Falkens (275/70/18) it was a lot closer and I never rubbed once. You’re good. Send it.Alignment got done. The tires are CLOSE, both in front and in back, but they clear.

also it does look great - pictures don’t do Falkens justice .. they look sick

I don’t have access to them. This truck gets chopped up in three or so weeks with new kings, camburg arms and links, full steel skids, add front bumper and a tonneau.
It will get another swing at the alignment shop soon. Expensive 3 months.
Here is how it sits dead on in the drive.
Did you get in on the Icon sale they had them wheels a month or so ago? I picked up the same ones as yours for like 176.00ea.Here is how it sits dead on in the drive.
