65 vs 70
I am in the market for some new tires. Going to have Taco TRD front shocks and springs and a 1" spacer plate for a total of 2" lift.
Rear going with FJ springs and new shocks with whatever size spacer to achieve a level stance.
That being said should I go with a 6 5series tire or a 70 series tire?
The 70 series is about 1" taller than a 65 series tire.
Note: I will get the tires before the lift so I do not want to rub.
I will also get wheel spacers to widen the stance a bit.
Please help!
Thanks

There’s a lot of factors to be accounted for, but having personally gone down this path and chosen the 26/70/17s, I’d never go back. Changing the offset will likely cause rubbing more than just going up to that size. I’m mildly lifted AND have a more aggressive offset of +1mm, instead of the +30mm of the stock wheels. I had very minor rubbing in the front which was easily solved by removing the mud flaps, and moving the wheel well liners forward a bit at the front bumper. When I rolled the 265/70 Wildpeak tire next to my existing 265/65s, I was sold instantly.

I have a 2004 4Runner Sport V8 4x4
I just installed Falken Wildpeak AT3 LT265/70/17 today. Extremely happy (new car feeling). Very aggressive look. 4Runner is completely stock. I have no rubbing at full turn, X Reas Suspension still ☹️ But 300k miles and going strong.
LT version tire is 31.9". 4/32"more tread depth than P version. 138.00 per tire I could not pass it up.

The Wildpeaks are the tire I am looking at! I am going to roll with the stock wheels for now and I really like the price on Amazon for these! Thanks for the awesome feedback Terminator03!

Thanks for your feedback dms3198!
I will look into those. BTW I also have the XReas suspension that is working fine @187K miles. However, I will be eliminating it when I go with new suspension!

I was looking into suspension last night. It's my project for next spring. (After I get married I'm told) Bilstein 5100 leveling suspension set is what I'm leaning towards. I'll be looking forward to the extra clearence.

I’m really happy with my 265/70/17 Wildpeaks, and Discount Tire Online matched (slightly beat) Amazon’s price, shipped them for free to local Discount Tire and it ended up being ~$600 out the door total installed.

damn that is a crazy good price installed. I just ordered some Ko2 from Costco for about $900(after discount too) installed.... I'm gonna have to consider the wildpeaks if its $300 less.

I almost went KO2, but after much research and review reading, I came to the conclusion that they were not $300 better in quality, traction, noise rating, etc. in several categories the Wildpeaks were slightly better. After driving through snow and ice last winter, and every situation since, I have zero regrets!
