5th Gen Wheel & Tire Thread

[TRD PANTHER]

Thanks. Yeah you are right. I mean Toyota did good job with design of those rims , just wish they would be 8”+ wide and better off set, to push it out of wheel well.

The stance on your 4Runner looks great. I know a lot of members think the Pro wheels are overplayed, but, regardless, they are a great looking wheel. I ran 285-75-16’s on oem 7” wide wheels on my 3rd gen for over 150k miles without a problem airing down to 12-15lbs. Also, I am in the minority as I think the 285 tire/OEM Pro wheel combo offset looks good. BTW, what are your measurements from the center hub to the top of the arch on your fender front and rear?

Thanks! I’ve got 23” front and 24” rear

I have the TRD Pro Rims on my 2019. I've considered selling them because they sit so far into the body. I really like the looks of them though. Not big on spacers. Your rig looks great. It's hard to justify buying new wheels because the TRDs look so good..... at least from the side profile.

That is a great looking rig. Anymore pics and specs posted?

But then they would rub, right?

Actually they are really close to tires like 0.25”. When I installed them, was keeping my eye on it for a while. Did ~ 7K miles, No rubbing 100%

I am sorry man, if you’re talking about the rims? I pretty sure 8”+ would definitely rub. Tried wheel spacers before 1.25”. A lot of rubbing with 3.7 of caster. Took them off.

Best set up I have found so far

Saw this thread and had to chime in.

Everyone knows the 5th gens don't do well with big heavy tires but everyone wants to be an overlander!

I have done it so many ways with so many sets of tires. 265/70/17's, 285's 33x12.5x17's, street ply, 8 ply, 10 ply.

The set up I have is hands down my favorite and I don't have to sacrifice almost anything.

Current set up:

Wheels: Gear Alloy Manifold 17 inch with a -12 backspacing (key for the look)
Tires: Falken Wildpeak AT P285/70/17

Only running a 2.5 inch front lift with a 1.5 in the rear. Zero issues with rubbing.

Love the because they are lite but still off road capable! Keeps the truck from being a tank!

Got any side pics? Also, how wide are the Rims?

*noob here* excuse my dumb question but is there ever a reason to not put 275/70/17 k02s on a stock 2010 TE rims (fj looking ones), or would I have to upgrade to aftermarket rims because of offset issues or something to that nature that im not aware of? *will be trail running and airing down the tires*

Because they only give you about 1/2” more ground clearance than the stock 265’s but weigh a lot more and rob power and MPGs. They will fit just fine though.

The tires are so light they appear to be floating in the rear!.......

Well yeah, the rubbing thing is largely a non issue when you don't have any front fenders.

Is there a huge difference in 17x8 vs 17x8.5 rims when it comes to upgrading for example to a k02 285/70/17 tire? obviously stock trail rims that I have are at 17x7.5 and are potentially sketchy with 285s so would a full inch be the better than going half an inch with 17X8 when upgrading? Cost difference is a few hundred at most.

nice looking tires!
