Just wanted to let you know that I easily fit 33" tires (255/80/17) on my 2003 4x4 V8 sport 4runner with a 2.5" OME susp. lift. The 285/70/17's are also 33 inch tires in height but are too wide so that size rubs. I'm not using spacers. No rubbing! This girly knows how to tire shop....love my...
New tires
2003 4x4 V8 Sport Ed. Galactic Gray - 2.5" Old Man Emu suspension lift - brand new 255/80/17 (33") BFG KM2 mud tires...yes they fit and they do not rub at all!
I personally like the sport better (hood scoop, etc....better looks)....I would definitely take a V8 over a V6 if that is an issue too. My 2003 V8 sport is AWD all the time...it is not just the limited. I think they both sound like good rigs.
Thanks guys!
I had no rubbing at all on my sport 2003 runner 4x4 with the BFG a/t 265/70/17's before the lift. Thank you all for your input! I will let you know if the KM2 255/80/17's fit. If so, I want a roof rack like Blair B's...it rocks.
I had no rub with the 265/70/17 BFG all terrain tires. I am going to test fit the 255/80/17 tires tomorrow. They are almost the same width and only an inch taller. Guess the only way to find out is to try! Thanks for posting. :)
I have an Old Man Emu 2.5" suspension lift and LOVE IT. It rides 10x better than the XREAS. Parts and installation ran me $1200 two years ago. You can see the parts and some examples of lifted 4th gen 4R's at sleeoffroad.com...those guys lifted my rig. Good luck.
Hi everyone! New to this site, but have owned my 4R for 7 years now. I have a 2003 V8 sport....got a 2.5 inch OME suspension lift at SLEE in Golden, Colorado. I've been running BFG A/T 265/70/17 tires on my stock wheels. I would like to upgrade the aggressiveness and size of my tires...
