I was thinking the same thing for my next set of tires, can anyone please chime in on the fit of 255 / 75 / 17 on a 4th Gen without a lift? It's a V8 if that makes any difference
265/70/17 owners, wish you've gone bigger?

I have 255/75/R17 Goodyear Duratracs on Toyota TRD wheels (which are a slightly different offset from stock, I believe) on my '08 Limited V6. I had to remove the front mudflaps and move the front edge of the front fender liner forward about 2 inches but with those adjustments I had zero rubbing on a very tired stock XREAS suspension. I really, really like this size as it gives me the benefits of a slightly larger diameter with little to no compromise...I'd do it again in heartbeat!
Cheers!

Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for! Just to clarify, are you referring to the TRD Pro Wheels? Which are 7 in wide versus the TRD Wheels which are 7.5 in wide?
I'm sorry...I should have been more specific!
Yes, I meant the TRD Pro wheels that are 7" wide with a slightly more aggressive offset than stock. There are a lot of really nice wheels for our rigs but not many that are less than 7.5". When I was looking for wheels I knew I was going to go with 255 section tires so I felt that a 7" wide wheel made the most sense. I'm extremely happy with how the tires look on the wheels and how the wheel/tire package fits the truck and performs on the road and on the trail.
Cheers!
Just as a follow-up, I should point out that my rig will be used for primarily Overland style travel which means quite a bit of paved road and gravel road travel. If I were building a more offroad oriented rig I would probably have gone in a different direction with a wider wheel and larger section tire (likely 285-ish).
I think it's really important to tailor our mods to the intended use so that we end up with the very best outcomes for our $'s spent!
Cheers!

All that I read lead me to believe that a V6 is calling for a re gearing at 33 inches and up. You don't have to but it would improve the feel a lot. V8 is affected way less. There was a nice tread about gears somewhere..
PS I just installed 255/75r17 which is 32" and I feel the difference in power but not to the point where it bothers me. I wouldn't want go heavier/bigger tier and actually very happy with a result.

As of right now I am total stock on a 05 4runner i just picked up. i am adding a 2" leveling kit so can i go with a 265-70-17 tire?

Absolutely. I’m currently running that size in an A/T with no lift, only rubs in full lock when reversing. With your leveling kit you’d be in the clear.

Yes, I'm running 265/65/17 on a +15 offset FJ wheel with all stock 213k mile suspension. Stock 4th gen 4runner wheels are +30, but I don't think that will make a huge difference if you're also adding the leveling kit.

I just bought my 4 runner with 265 Duratracs on it, they are half worn out and loud. I think after the Cornfed lift 2/1 that 275's will be going back on it. Just need to decided between Ko2's or Wildpeaks.
I have 265-70-17 highway tires on mine and haven't noticed any rubbing.

NJShadow93 -- are the Duratacs 265/70R17? I am putting 2" spacers (Dynofit) up front on my 2008 SR5 and replacing the factory 265/65R17s (finally).

If I could find a set of a Tacoma axles in 4.10 or 4.56 I would plan to go bigger.
Think it all depends on what you want to do with your vehicle. Mine is getting used to drive from Pennsylvania to places like Colorado, South Dakota, Wyoming, Utah, etc, so fuel mileage and power are a factor.
For something to toy around in locally? Meh, wouldn’t matter in my opinion. Just have fun with it.
