With that tire size on TRD wheels I experienced slight inside contact (rubbed off the paint) on the inner wheel well at full lock. Also rubbed the outer fender lip (and wore through the plastic fender liner) when the suspension compressed. This with TRD springs and dampers. No rear issues. Due to the added nose weight due to the Blitz S/C my front drop was about 2 inches. I also had the front camber set at 1 1/2 degrees negative past OEM spec. It was tolerable and no tire damage was experienced. My biggest issue was ride quality on 35's over our frost heaved Ontario roadways.
