Thule makes a fit kit that attaches to the bottom of the feet that will allow it to mount to the factory rails. According to their website it is the TK1 fit kit.
I've got it set up on my 4runner, took all the factory crossbars off and it works great.
Got them mounted last week after a delay due to a family emergency.
The Good: 245's don't look to skinny, even with limited fender flares - wasn't a big deal to me anyway, but seems to be to some. They ride great on pavement around town and on the highway. I haven't been off road or in...
Ordered some 245/75 Revo 2's last week from Discount Tire (they didn't have them in stock) and will update when I get them on.
It was a timely move, I had a rear tire blow out this afternoon. Fortunately the spare lowered just fine and had air in it.
Thanks guys for the replies. I'm a little wary of it looking funny, but not too worried about it. The 245s are less than and inch skinnier than 265s, which amounts to only 1/2" in at the fender at each tire.
rdgt4r, what aspect ratio are you running with your 255's?
In searching through the existing threads on this issue (that I found anyway) I'm seeing a lot of great responses, but not many from people who have done it. I'm hoping to elicit a few real world experiences in addition to more of the solid advice that has come before.
I'm thinking of...
