What wheel offset you running? i have 20x9 in that tire size on my limited as well. -12 and I get rubbing.
Finally got my wheels after 9 months of looking on this forum. Thought I would share as this forum has been a great resource for tires and wheels.
These are the Black Rhino Traverse 20" x 9" with a 15 offset. The tires are the new Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 size 275/55R20. Not that aggressive looking as I do a lot of street driving, but All-Terrain and All-Weather nevertheless. They almost sit flush to the fender. A much better aggressive stance than the stock 20" x 7".
I'm very happy with the setup, and a huge improvement with the drive and handling. They slightest rub when the wheel is cranked on a slight slope, and I haven't seen a difference in fuel economy though I would expect it as they are a wider tire with likely more grip/friction.
Think I got it all covered. Thanks to all who contribute. Here are some photos. (It was a very dark day, and I'm lazy to re-take them).

Looks great! My imagination or do you have a level kit or front spacer lift of some sort? My '16 LE doesn't sit that level. 20 x 9, -12 offset.
Crummy pics I know..

Love the offset on the sidewinders, wheels look great. I don't have a levelling kit. I live on a hill so maybe the slope makes it look level but mine looks thr same as yours.

Second Post here. Been cruising the threads here for a while and have a week and a half old 2016 TR4 Limited with the 20's
I have been reading the thread and some others deciding on some winter tires for New England snow and ICE. Went online looking for a replacement tire and having trouble finding something that stands out. My commute is pretty hilly, as is my driveway. Most winters its ice.
I'm more confused now, lol. Anyway what are the current best direct swaps for winter tires that people have been happy with? I'm more than willing to go up to a 265. But I also want the same OD of the tire so not to have rubbing or speedometer issues. Thanks in advance!

Isn't is such a pain that Toyota put up a thin tire on the limited. I didn't want to risk going with 275s with the 7" width as you need at least 7.5" for that tread width. I looked into 265s but I couldn't find a tire that would be close to the spec diameter (265/55r20 would be ideal)

This guy put on 265/50r20 nittos. You give up close to 1" in diameter. I just ended up splurging on wheels, good excuse. I can sell my wheels and tires separately and make up a good chunk of the expense, also now I have an All-Terrain, All-weather tires as I drive a lot in the winter.
Good luck.

That's looking nice.....:thumb3::thumb::bravo::dancin:
It's obvious from all of the replies that we have a ton of 'experts' on this forum. Some of you 'experts' might want to contact the actual professionals (discounttire.com, etc.) that recommend and will take the 'liability' of putting 275 55 20's on the 4Runner limited factory wheels and advise them as to what they're doing wrong. I'm sure these large chain tire professionals would love to hear from the 'arm chair quarterbacks' and have you set them straight and I'm sure they'll adjust their practices accordingly.
This is why I purchased aftermarket wheels. Not worth it for me. Plus, the amount Toyota charges for the stock tires up here in Canada, it wasn't much more to get wheels and a better tire.

This 100% (I'm US). Did the exact same when I had my Limited. Cost me $200 more and then on my next set of tires came out ahead.
Pulled the trigger - 275/55R20 on Stock LE Wheels
I realize this post would be much better suited with some attached photos, but the photos really don't do justice, compared to how these tires look in person, as many others have reported.
Just installed Goodyear Adventure AT 275/55R20 on the stock limited rim, including the spare & couldn't be happier. Still sporting the stock suspension & not one bit of rubbing, even when in reverse. I should have done this much sooner.
Tires mounted & balanced perfectly, without a hiccup.
Thank you to the first person with the guts to try this. :hello:

First time post here, long time member of Tacoma World. Wanted to thank everyone for the vital information here regarding this topic. We had our 2014 4 runner since new, and its primarily my wife's vehicle. We essentially live in the northeast where we see some brutal winters, making it worse is on top of a mountain. I essentially bought this vehicle for one reason, and to get us safely up and down the mountain in the winter. I've had 4 Tacoma's and know the capabilities of these machines, but essentially my wife said her Rav 4 was better in the snow than this 4 runner. I attributed this to the stock Geolanders which are essentially a summer tire. After going to a few tire places was confronted with the same issue everyone else was, there's nothing aggressive in the stock size. After taking into consideration the safety issues of the 275 on a 7 inch rim we were left with these decisions. 1, trade in for a SR5. 2, buy new wheels, added cost of $900, on top of the price of tires. 3, roll the dice on the 275 on narrow rim. We felt the right decision for us was to install the 275s on the narrow rim. We went with the Destination AT's ( 275-55-20) She only goes three miles to work every day and I feel the risk of tire separation at her low speeds would be a rare occurrence, but she does needs to get there in the winter/snow. We certainly understand the risk and thank this site for pointing it out, but the risk of leaving those stock tires on for yet another winter was more of a safety issue for us.

I would probably do this, but it is my understanding that wider wheels will not fit correctly without rubbing?
I've had a very slight rub under extremely hard brake, cutting wheel full lock right, not left though. It was a little plastic flange on mud flap that stuck out, no issue resolved quick.

Gotcha, I can see that.
I'm in the Twin Cities as well, mind sharing where you got your tires and if they installed that size for you as well?
