I just found them at Discount Tire. Should have them by Saturday, installed one day next week.

Just a quick photo from last night after getting them installed. I have to do a bit more trimming now - this size is basically 35"x10".

Love the design of these - would actually be decent for mudding as the aggressive side wall would hopefully help with traction. Very cool.

I am excited to hear when people find tires that look and perform well on their 4Runners.

I, while not old, but a curmudgeon nonetheless, am still stuck on the original BFG K/O having the most iconic appearance, both sidewall and tread.

I am not the biggest fan of “swept” sidewall tread, or artsy designs approaching the appearance of flames, etc.

All that having been said, if they come in the sizes and load ratings people want (to push the limits for their ride height without rubbing or serious mods) then I think they’ll win us over.

Of course I gotta ask: all the standard stuff was needed to clear these bad boys? BMC, pinch weld, UCAs …

Yes. My BMC is actually not aggressive enough, so I've just been chopping into the body mount with my angle grinder and clearancing where I see rubbing. I have a bit more plastic to trim out as well, but not nearly as much as with a 315. If I removed the 1.25" wheel spacers, I probably would not need to trim anything and my BMC would have been fine.

But I like the wide stance

I don't remember exactly 4 or 4.5 degrees. I'm mostly rubbing on the right, which I seem to recall has slightly more caster than the left. If it's at 4.5 degrees, I might be able to bring it down to 4 degrees and eliminate most of the rub.

You would want to increase the Caster to move it away from the body mount. I have mine around 5* which cleared 305's but I don't know about those tires. Like you said I think the wheel spacers are the culprit

I've found that it seems to vary from truck to truck. Too much caster and you start leaning the tire back into the body mount instead of away. But you might be right.
