Simple question, are these rims the matte grey ones or is it some other color?

Looks like ThrillSeekr has a similar set up to what I am looking for and only has minor rubbing at full lock.



So an update on this. I chose to go with the TRD rims that were 17" x 7" when I found out the 17" x 8" was a two piece rim. So glad too because they look awesome. With that said I went with some Goodyear MT/Rs 275/70/r17 instead of the 285/70/r17 because the Goodyear rep said that size would definitely rub. He also stated the 275/70/r17 would rub when the tire is up in the wheel well and turned. He was right. However, there is very minor rubbing. At the present moment, everything else is stock. Here is a picture just for fun!

The matte grey Toyota offers. Nothing special done to them.

I can say you will rub. Depending on everything else, you might have to move the inner liner forward, you might have to trim the mud flap, you might have to trim the front cover a bit, and if you really are bad you might have to do a body mount chop. None of these things are hard but you will have to do something. Even if you lift you have to do these things. Don't want to do anything? Stop at 275.
To back up @1engineer 's post, I just went to stock size Duratrac's LT 265/70/17 with stock suspension and it rubs slightly at full lock on just the drivers side.

Any ideas on 265 60R20s? They aren't listed in your guide.

Only listed sizes people usually run. Will be glad to add and analyze it if you truly are thinking about running that size.

Pretty sure that's what I've finally decided on. Now I'm trying to decide if the Goodyears are worth $100 more ea than the Coopers

It is amazing what the 4runner did 2010 Toyota 4Runner Rubicon Trail First Drive but what you call a little cosmetic scratch is more than most of us would want to have on our 4runners.

My point was it is cheaper to fix the damage than cut up a truck to run 37's.

I was looking at your tire fitment guide. I am trying to decide if I can run 275/70/17 tires without a lift for now. From some of the post on your guide it looks like it is hit or miss with all terrain tires. I want to get the new BFG KO2 but they only come in 275 size for now. I am thinking I better stick with 265 tires at this time especially since I am going to be using the stock 20" spare for now. I do like your fitment guide.

As an additional piece of input data, I just put 275/70R17 Cooper Discoverer AT3
on mine and they do rub (driver and passenger sides) as you approach full lock. This is without a lift. My 4R is in the shop today having a Toytec Boss kit installed.

Was it rubbing on the front or the rear? I am guessing the front but I noticed on mine that the passenger side gets within 1/2"-3/4" on the rear of the stock 20" tire with the wheel partially turned. I think a bigger more aggressive tire would rub there on mine.

Front. No rubbing in the rear.
