larger dubs, more weight
people overlook this, but unless you're getting FORGED rims that are larger, going up a size will decrease your braking performance siginificantly. . .that, and the larger rotational mass will decrease your acceleration. Just something to consider. A good measure for cars is about a pound per inch of diameter (17" rims=17lb is a GOOD size). . .for 4Runners, I don't know how much the stockers weight, probably at least 35lbs, so a forged rim that's 18" wouldn't be so bad. . .I like the forged rims on tirerack.com listed for our 4Runners, just to $$$$ imo
