235/80R17 Tires and New Wheels

[Jack Schitz]

I'm looking to put Falken Wildpeak A/T3W's in 235/80R17 on my 2002 4Runner and I have a few questions.

1. Will they fit stock?
2. Am I going to need to change the offset of the wheels to something other than stock? (~15mm 2002 Toyota 4Runner - Wheel & Tire Sizes, PCD, Offset and Rims specs | Wheel-Size.com)
3. The specified max wheel width for the tires is 7.5. There are not a lot of wheels out there that are 7-7.5 wide. There are the TRD wheels and the "OE Wheels Replacement Wheels" which have the right diameter and width and a similar offset. Does anyone know of other options? Particularly does anyone know of an option that wont interfere with the Tundra brake upgrade?

Thanks.

Have you looked at the ATW4s?

Yeah, I actually went with the AT3Ws in 235/85R16. I found a screaming deal on them and I get to use my original rims (which fit the Tundra Brake upgrade). It's more sidewall which on an LT tire is useful when airing down.

I understand that the AT4Ws are not quite as good in the snow and that's really important to me. That plus I got the tires for $174/tire (all in), made the decision easy for me. FWIW, SimpleTire.com is the place where I picked them up. Go to the chat and ask them to give you a deal and they will take ~$40 off which basically covered my taxes.

Thanks.

Makes sense - killer deal. I went with 255/85/16 C but they were a good bit more $ and I don't deal with snow.
