Castor def needs to be corrected and the radius arms from Simon are super beefy. However I think unless you are wheeling it super hard the full arms are a little overkill. Can get castor correcting bushings from the UK or Oz or make castor corrected plates as I think a member here had just done maybe a month or two ago which was clever.

Having been to moab on both 265 and 285s I wouldn't worry too much unless you plan on tackling something harder than hells revenge (ie moab rim). If you have a good rear bumper you'll be fine as the *** end likes to drag off everything out there. Also, almost everything out there has a bypass or large variations in line options if it's truly a big obstacle.
I'd run 3" RTE springs, extend the brake lines and abs lines, disconnect the sway bars and either tire size will look great. 285s on the alloys may not need trimming but I needed to trim running the steelies and my suspension was toast when I got them which didn't help the issue.

With a fresh lift you may be good, the offset on the steelies pushes the wheel out more than the stock alloys which spacers won't help solve that. I would cycle the suspension through before going off-road just to make sure everything clears. May need to trim some around the front as the 4" lift pulls the front axle back towards the body some without castor corrected and extended radius arms. The rear fender you can massage the inner lip to remove any sharp corners.
My 285s don't stick out on the steelies very far if at all with no fender flares. I'm not running flares on either of my d2s and much prefer the look.

I decided to buy Simon's radius arms after looking at how the geometry would be affected. I thought the steelies were too far tucked. I know a guy near me that builds rovers always fits steelies and spacers with a 3" TF lift and 33" tires. Maybe I'll just take the flares off if I have issues.
