275/70 r17 KO2's no lift on trail wheels.

Any rubbing besides when going in reverse?

Did the wheel well mod fix it, or did you have to do more modifications?

also, if you have pics of this setup, please posty here

I've searched the threads about this topic but can't get any concrete info so I'm hoping this thread will help those who are interested in the same setup.

Here's a helpful thread. There are 20 pages but I think I saw a few TE with this setup.
http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/153173-5th-gen-wheel-tire-thread.html

I'm also looking at those same size tires but on a SR5.

You do realize the reason there is no definitive answer is because all 4runners are slightly different. Different just enough that you might not rub with those tires but your buddy might. With that said 275's usually fit with no rubbing. Sometimes not. I appreciate you wanting to know absolutely without question that they will not rub but your best bet is to go through the "Going bigger- 5th gen tire fitment guide" and see for yourself.

Directly what you are looking for here.

Mine with 275 KO2's. No rub in reverse or full lock left or right. Pic for reference.

I'm getting the same tires + shrockworks sliders put on at the end of the month. Can't wait!

2014 Trail with 275/70R17 KO2's and 20kmi on them.

No rubbing for me.
Yes they look nice, big and beefy. They handle well and traction is good every where I've had it. But the ride on them is rougher than I had expected. I could drop the pressure down more to try and smooth it out, but then they feel like I'm driving on melted marshmallows. Even 35psi feels like I'm trying to accelerate through a bog and cornering gets very mushy.
Won't be purchasing an E load tire again for this truck.

Hope this helps.

2013 Limited with Trail rims; no rubbing.

thanks for the heads up. is the mushy ride attributed to the specific KO2 or the load rating e tires? Would a different load rating be different?

 

[Friggin Idiot]

The mushy ride is low air pressure. Under appropriate pressure the ride gets a little rough. Personal suggestion is C load tires or the P metric size

The E rating is what made it too rough and firm. Lowering the tire pressures was what made them mushy.

No photo handy right now, but I have this exact setup. No rubbing anywhere. Working on finding that PSI sweet spot. I don't want it to sound like I regret getting them; I prefer the ride and wet condition handling to stock.

 

[SteadfastZach]

I am heavily leaning towards these tires, had them before on my little ranger in 31's. Someone talk me off the ledge of going with the 255/80/17 ST Maxx's! Why does choosing tires have to be so dang tiring. :redbrick:

Awesome! What load rating did you get?

Mine are E rated. I came from an X5 with 18" wheels, lower profile tires, and stiffer suspension, so this is still pretty cush compared to what I'm used to.

Have you ruled out the 285's? I'm doing the same rims and tires and I'm thinking about rolling the dice on one up from your plan. Just curious.

Stock height with 275's and how it sits today. No rubbing with stock setup. Had to trim and move fender liner after I lifted and added 1.25" spidertrax spacers.

 

[Koddo]

IMO, the rougher ride and heavier weight (and therefore performance issues tied to it) are not worth the very small incremental increase in tire size from stock.

And as far as protection goes from C (265's) --> E, if your going to blow a tire with C's, you're going to do it with E's. In my experience these tires are just about indestructible. You gotta be doing some crazy crazy stuff to blow these tires out.

I have 265's, and put them through their paces, still going strong. Ride is very stiff for C 265's, can't imagine what the E's feel like.

If you want to go 275's and keep the ride comfort of C's, go with Cooper AT3.

My right front tire rubs when going downhill and wheel is turned all the way to the right.
