255/75/17 Tires?

[Volley]

Hi all,

Asking this question for a friend with a stock V8 4th gen. Will these size tires be okay to put on her 4runner without any issues?

Thanks!

I have 255/70/17 on my 03 SE V8 4x4. no issues at all. I cant speak for the 75, sorry, but I have no rubbing issues at all with stock suspension, no spacers, no lift.

Volley, Please take a look at the sticky - 4th gen suspension options / FAQ by ARK_SWAMP_RIDER.
Per the FAQ you may need a 1 inch lift with that size to prevent rubbing. These are not absolute, just recommendations. I ran 255/70R17 with no lift and no issues. Last year I switched to 265/70R17 on FJ rims (still no lift) and all I have is the smallest amount of rubbing at full lock in reverse. I did not remove the mud flaps nor did I move the fender liner.

I have 255/75/17's. I ran them totally stock and had no rubbing anywhere. I did remove mud flaps though. Then I lifted it and now I rub ever so slightly in reverse at full lock but I've gotten use to it. I also have 5th gen wheels that have a little more back spacing than the 4th gen wheels so it pushes the wheel out a little further. But I still don't think you'd have many issues. Go for it.

Stock tire (265/65/17) diameter is 30.6". The diameter of 255/75/17 is 32". I used to run 265/70/17's (31.8" diameter) on my sagging stock suspension and wheels and I had just the slightest rubbing at full lock. I think your friend will be just fine but with maybe a little rubbing on the mud flaps

Thanks all for the quick replies and for the sticky. I'm normally in the 3rd Gen forum and was just trying to help out a buddy and didn't see the sticky. Thanks again!

moved the fender liners up and have no problem.

note mine are 18's

had no problems driving home from sears after they installed them on my truck. they did touch when turning if i was flexing any but moved the fender liners when i got home. i have been wheeling with them and fully stuffed the front and rear tires with no problem
