Default Mitsubishi Raider with 265/75/16 ??

I have a 08 Mitsubishi Raider and would like to add nitto 265/75/16 ( 31.5 tire ) and a daystar leveing spacer . Will this work with factory 16x8 and not rub the mub flaps or front bumper ?

I was going to order a leveling spacer like the rough country one but it doesnt sound like anything over 2 is safe or a good idea , just to make sure i can clear the tires . Just want this truck to look mean

Try to fit them without the spacer. use the leveling kit as a last resort.

Don't try it without the leveling kit, it WILL rub bigtime. I used the cheap Ebay kit. Easy install, looks & works great. Even with the leveling kit, I had to trim slightly.

Its because your not using the factory wheels. I ran 265/75 for a year with no rub, then installed my leveling kit. But, theres no harm in doing both at once, so i guess it doesn't matter. TRX4 2008, did you use the 2" or the 2.5" kit?

I have 32.8"" wikth the Ready Lift leveling kit. They barley rub. You can fit 32'' tires without any rubbing.
