275/65r18 on 2008 4runner

[LoneDeRanger]

I found a sweet deal on some tires, is this even a possible fit on the 2008?

I called a local place and they said they would have to test fit.

Has anyone tried this, I have been unable to find much with the search function.

Thanks in advance

Are you lifted? How much?

Maybe, but you might need to move front fender forward.

I ran 275/65/18s. Without a lift, I'd imagine you'd need to remove the mud flap and move the front inner fender liner. I ran mine with a 2.5 inch lift. You can check my build thread for pictures.

Another option is the 265/65/18 size, those won't rub on stock height.

Stock height. Due to xreas system.

It is about 3 inches to low for my liking. I just dont have the cash for a. 5100 redo.

So is this something spacers would fix or is that just a crappy fix or not applicable?

I'm looking at a set of 275/70/17. Will it rub? I have daystar 2.5/1.5 and spidertrax 1.25 wheel spacers... no mud flaps

not saying your size search is bad but another tall tire option is a 255/70/18.

I put on 265/65/18 with Daystar 2.5/1.5. It rubs slightly the fender liner on the left front wheel when reversing.

 

[redbirds5]

The 18 in rim makes a big difference right?

I don't think the 18" rim makes any difference, just the dimensions of the wheel well limits how big and wide you can go

 

[Bumbo]

18" rim means you will just have less sidewall...

275/65/18 is a 32.1" tire.

I just stuffed a 255/75/17 on mine and that is also a 32.1" tire...

With a 2" lift i still get a little rub on the front fender at full lock, but it fits.

I would actually be a little cautious about the wheels backspacing and how close that tire is going to be to the upper control arm with a 275.

Bumbo do you have any wheel spacers?

hell no...

If I need to increase the track, id buy new rims and run the correct offset / backspacing.

That said, I had 16" SR5 rims, and changed them to 17" FJ rims which did have a little more offset increasing the overall track by a very small amount. Each rim is also 0.5" wider so you also see that on the outboard side.

Going off my own measurements using calipers... not published measurements, I am about 0.31" wider per side. Increasing the track by only 0.62 inches. Not much, but its all I needed to feel better about my tire to UAC clearance. Note that measurement does not account for the FJ rim being wider as well, so you can add another 1/2" per side to the above.

Yeah I'd like to eventually get some new wheels but right now the spidertrax is the best option for me

I am kinda at odds. Tire shops are not going to move stuff around in there for me are they?

Anyone have a 275 in the spare? Does it fit?

 

[Powder_Hound]

No, they won't move stuff around, but if you dig around T4R.org there are many that have moved their inner fender forward. I think it's as simple as removing a bolt, drilling a hole 1" forward and reattaching fender: if there is rubbing.

Yes, a 275 should fit in the spare. Others have stuffed deflated 285's as well with a bit of work.

Thanks to everyone and powder hound.

I am gonna get these tires... If I have problems I will just have to possibly invest in a spacer lift.... But I like the raked look. I hate flat 4runners... Once you toss in 1000lbs of corn..... Saggy ass 4runner lol.

Damned xreas. Got a quote for a 2.5back 1 front daystar spacer install. They want 585+tax. Does that sound right?

Did you ever go with these tires? Before lifting?
