3rd Gen wheels and tires

I would keep the wheels you have unless there is anything wrong with them or you just have an aftermarket wheel that your dying to have.

I ran 265/75/16 BFG ATs when mine was stock. No rubbing at all and a great all weather/terrain tire. They did pretty well in snow, which I'm sure you have plenty of.

I would. But these wheels have a lot of rash and scraping. Therefore, I might as well get new ones. Just not sure what. Maybe more OEM. I don't know yet. Thanks though!
 
Well fellas, I guess I'm getting my new wheels and tires sooner than expected. Considering I just drove this truck from Chicago to Minneapolis I consider myself very lucky. I've never had this happen before. I type this as I wait for the tow truck. The spare is also flat because of the cold. Hovering right at 0 degrees right now. I'm not gonna let this hold me down. Ohhhhh no! I got to keep on movin......

That SUCKS! Sorry Man!

If you are sticking with 16" wheels, I have 265/75/16s that fit very well and they are generally cheaper than stock 265/70/16s.

Nice tail end on the 4Runner!

I feel like such a wuss. The driver told me to stay in the truck and refused to let me help. Safety concerns I know. But.....

Hey man, I feel your pain. I live in Apple Valley and just picked up my 4Runner two weeks ago. Drove it to the store the next day and was stranded there with a bad starter. My tires are shot as well and I'm looking for something to get me by until I can replace the front struts and rear springs.

What up my neighbor? That sucks bro. But, keep your head up. It's a 4Runner. Once you get it dialed in you'll be very happy!!!

What do you think of these on a 2001 SR5? I'm think 20 is too much!

Thanks everyone!

Thanks to everyone for their input. I've decided to have my OEM wheels refinished. Either powder coated or painted. I'm thinking gunmetal gray or gray with silver trim.

Thanks again!

yes actually, this topic comes up all the time, a simple search would have given you all the answers you wanted/needed. you actually got off pretty light considering how often this topic comes up. we all get tired of answering the question over and over again,

so yeah the comment about beating a dead horse was funny

Understood! Thx!
 
It was everyone's "choice" to reply. Meaning, you took the time, made a decision to reply and replied. But, then after 3 pages of comments someone says "I should have searched!"

Sounds like the majority need more to do with their time.......

Thanks everyone!

Powder coating the OEM ones sounds good. I thought about doing mine but mine are in horrible shape and I wasn't sure if they could be saved. Be sure to post some pics of your process if you get them done.
