2021 Limited Nightshade: Looking to do a leveling kit and some larger tires

Looks very nice for sure! Did you say in an earlier post which spacers and I missed it? Just curious, not even sure if it matters...

Thanks!

This is my daily driver, so most likely it will spend 95% of its life on pavement.
Thinking a 2" front / 1" spacer lift and some 275/60r/20 tires and I will be good. I know most go with a 275/55r/20 but i figure i could fill in the space better with a 275/60r/20 if I am doing the spacer lift front and rear.

And, if I ever do feel the need to go off roading I have this in the garage...

Seen a nightshade limited on YouTube that has stock rims with aftermarket tires with a lift.
I am new to 4runners as well off-roading but I have on order a 2021 limited nightshade coming in about a week so I am also doing some research and hope to learn more.

The problem is that most tire shops will not install the 265/60r/20 on the nighshade stock rim/wheel that is only 7" wide. The recommended wheel width for the tires in the video is 8.0-9.5"

Are you going to remove the XREAS so you can lift/level? If you keep XREAS you need to use spacers. It may be possible to level/lift with springs on XREAS but those lines make it nearly impossible. 2/1 cornfed spacers and 275/55/20 all terrain KOs is my vote. Here's a pick of my stock xreas and springs with TRD rims and KO2s 265/70/17. I enjoy the xreas on the street. Im also a fan of duratracs

Will 275/60/20 rub with the lift is the $100 question. I think most of the rubbing is on the front splash guard due to the width of the tire. Rubbing occurs at full lock in reverse. Its minor and doesn't bother some people. So the lift wont necessary eliminate that rub spot. I guess a 275/60/20 will rub on the front splash guard even with a lift. Hope someone with direct experience with 275/60/20s can help. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I like a little space in the wheel wheel and would get a shorter tire. Plus, a shorter tire helps with gearing and shifting/powerband, mpgs and speedometer accuracy. Short tires do not help with the potholes on Irving Park road, assuming they are still there, haha.

Discount Tire in Downers Grove put 275/55/20s on a buddy's limited. They may have been 275/50/20 but I think they're were 275/55/20?

Sweet hummer, Ive seen them in action. Amazing!

Update 7/28/21
Finally got around to doing some stuff to my 2021 Nightshade.
Tinted the windows (including the front windshield), removed the factory roof rack, lift and larger tires.
Lift is a Cornfed 2/1 lift and tires are 275/55/20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on the stock Nightshade wheels.
No rubbing. No issues what so ever. First two pics are of the stock tires with the lift, then with the Nitto's..

This truck looks fanatic. :rockon: I'm in the process of ordering a black nightshade as well.

My plan is to go with the rough country spacer lift:

2in Suspension Lift Kit for 10-19 Toyota 4-Runner 4wd X-REAS Models [767] | Rough Country

The rough country kit has the stock extensions for the x-reas system. Did the Cornfed kit come with those?

I was also considering a set of 1.25 wheel spacers to slightly widen the stance on the stock wheels with some - 265/60r20 Toyo Open Country A/T III Tires. I don't want the tires to extend beyond the top of the fender, but a little poke never hurt. Lol

I noticed you went with a set of 275/55r20. Did the tire shop give you any push back on the 275s potentially rubbing even though you've discovered that they don't rub? Id' like to fill the wheel well with the wider tire as well.

No. The cornfed kit literally came with just the spacers.

My buddy owns the tire shop i went with for the tire purchase and install so no issues there. He said he has installed wider tires on narrower wheels with no issues so he was confident this setup would be fine.

Did you get some black lugs or was that stock?
