I took two bolts out of the inside, moved the wheel well in about an inch to inch and a half and trimmed that much off the fender. Got some matching paint from Toyota and touched it up after painting. You'd have had to know where it was to even see it unpainted.

I don't offroad (yet) so I can't tell you what it'll do when it starts to work. I suspect it'll rub some again, but since that will be rare for me, I'm OK with it. I parked it next to a 2019 stock 4runner and it made it look really bad. I do like how it looks. I like the handling, it floats a little, but it's OK, and I like the ride. Noise is fine too.

I do have a question on gas mileage, or rather tire pressure related to gas mileage. The tires show a max pressure of 50 PSI and are inflated to 36 psi. I'm only getting about 15 MPG with it. Again, it never saw the street on the stock setup, so I don't know what it was or would have been then. My question is what are others that may be running 285's are using for tire pressure and what kind of mileage you're getting with them? I know the max pressure is for load and don't want to wear the center by over inflating. Just curious what others are doing, and what results you're seeing.

I wish I could find a 1/2" one.

It seemed that my rig felt every little bump with the stock tires. The 275 BFGs seem to roll over bumps and potholes much easier. The one thing I have noticed is a steep MPG drop in the few miles I've driven so far. On City streets, it's around 2mpg so far. I haven't done any highway driving yet, but I'll do so and post an update.

Got rid of 265s days after bought my 2016 TEP. Looks much better. White letters out.

Got a killer deal (thanks to the thread alerting me to the bi-annual Discount Tire ebay sale) and was able to sell my OEM tires for $300 the same day I got these installed.

Initial impressions are that the heavier tires definitely are a drag on acceleration, but they look amazing and are actually quite a bit more comfortable than the stock Dunlops, even in the E rating. I still wonder if the 285 C rating would have been a better choice, but I just didn't want to mess with potential rubbing and the possibility of a body mount chop, and the 275 Es only weight about 5 lbs. more than the 285 Cs.

I've got a slimline bumper on the truck now, and it's quite a bit heavier than stock with the winch in there, so my front end is even lower. Looking at suspension options to fix that.

  Stock Suspension
  Stock "Trail" Wheels

Are you all still satisfied with these tires? Any rubbing at full flex? What's your MPG like? Would you buy them again?

Thanks!!!

I am satisfied with them. I have always wanted a set of these. I get 17 mixed 21 on the highway.

Here's a picture from just last weekend. Roughly 45K miles on the tires. This is after an especially rough 2 days of wheeling on some jagged rocks. The E rating gives me some extra peace of mind on the rocks as the tread starts to wear down.

I'm tempted to try something new when these are done, but I'll probably end up coming back to these since I had such a good experience. Though I do get the steering wheel shake from time to time, not sure how much the tires play in to that.

MPG is 16-17 average, but I'm heavier than stock by a fair margin.
