They will go on a 2" lift without rubbing, but you will need to make a number of mods to inner guards, guards, body mount etc.

I've got a completely stock '06 SR. She'll be going in for a 2" lift in the coming months as well as receiving new upper control arms. I've settled on fitting 265/75R16 tyres (Cooper S/T MAXX) but I've been unsure on the wheel size. I believe that 16x7 at +20 will do the job with no scrubbing at all (on full-lock, full compression, etc.). Can anyone confirm this? I saw that rocket55's ex-build was running this set-up with no complaints so that's inspired confidence, plus the new UCAs offer a little more leeway during alignment.
I assume that this set-up will protrude from the guard; by how much would this be? I plan to fit flares to the vehicle so I want to ensure that they'll be within or aligned with the fitted flares.
Finally, this is more for curiousity's sake: it's been stated that anywhere between zero and +20 offset will do fine. Does choosing an offset in this range come down to preferred looks (i.e. deep dish), legality, or something else i.e. if I had to go with +10 due to availability, would I be sacrificing on something?

That's a comfort to hear, thanks for that. She'll be getting lifted so I don't think scrubbing is a concern as I plan to put the tyres on post-lift. That, along with the upgraded upper control arms, should prevent the mudflap scrub that often occurs. That's that settledKizzzaaa wrote:This will bring the outer face of the tyre just inside of the flare which you will need to cover.
Is this on an SR without a flare on the wheel arch, or an SR5 with the stock flare? I'm still negotiating whether to go with the SR5 flare which I've heard is 10mm smaller than the Utemart flare, or an alternate brand that is slightly larger. Aesthetics are a concern, but of more importance is their tyre compatibility [emoji38]
