Putting 285/70/R17 Tires on 2003 4runner
I have aggressive tires from a 2004 Ford Expdetion. That i want to put on my 2003 4runner Sr5 v6 2wd. The tires i have now are R16" and my current Lug nut configuration is 6 Lug Nuts, 6x139.7 (or known as 6x5.5). The aggressive tires i want to put on are 285/70/R17, lug nut configuration is 6 Lug Nuts, 6x135. From what i have seen online the largest you can put is 265/70/r17. Since the lug nut configuration is different i am going to buy 6x5.5 to 6x135 (Set of 4) Wheel Adapter Special 1.5 inches for around $100. Do y'all think that with the 1.5in spacers there would be good enough clearance to stop the tires from rubbing on the wheel arches? Would i need to adjust the suspension? I believe the '03 4Runners have a Torsion Bar, would i need to adjust the suspension, if so how much would i need to and how much would be adjustment is recommended without putting a strain on the cars suspension. Also is it easy to adjust?
I was thinking i may have to invest in like 1-1.5in Coil Spacers, or maybe a leveling kit, because i feel i would have good clearance at least in the back.
I dont want to cut the plastic in the wheel arches.
Let me know if putting these big tires are even possible.
I plan on keeping the old tires too so i can change them out for longer drives, so i do not put too much strain on the engine.
