what size are you running at the mo? with 2 inch lift and 2 inch body usually 33's are about the max (the rub a little bit but you just have to cut off or fold over the seams) most running 35's have moved there diff forward to get the clearance.

They will rub badly with your current setup, I fitted a set of them (35's)to my surf a few months ago, having been now in most terrain types (Sth Island east and west coast) for the price I paid they were well worth the money and have pleasently surprised me as I thought they would be crap.

I have rear springs in the front of mine, which moved the front axle forward, has a widened track, and also have fairly extensively moddified steering, which gives plenty of room for them to move.
Richard has a good mod in his "bulletproofs hilux specs" thread to improve the clearance arond the front guards if you don't want to move the front end.

Right at the end of this clip there is a short piece of footage of them in action.
