Front shot

damn that looks nice..did the ride quality suffer from doing the daystar spacer lift?

Thanks. The daystar lift is just a spacer kit. It minimally affects the ride quality. If anything it's a little more stiff over bumps.

I'll re-post since my wheels and tires have changed:

- Wheel make, model, size, backspacing/offset: Konig CountersteerX [MENTION=85422]FNWheels[/MENTION], 17x8", 4.1" BS, -10mm offset. No spacers.
- Tire make, model, size: Cooper Discoverer STT 285/70
- Suspension: Specs in Sig.

- Body Mount Chop: Yep
- Tire rub: No. Not under full lock and/or full flex, nadda.
- Fenders: Front fender liner moved forward.
- Mud flaps: Removed fronts.

My Avatar pic shows them pretty well:

Awe man, those are pretty sweet. Does that mean the shipment of 8s came in?

LOVE this rig!

Can you give me the details of the set-up (lift height, wheel size, tire size)?

Thanks!

Just got these a week ago. Here are some general thoughts, mostly for someone in the middle of the "which wheel and tire combo should I upgrade to" research.

1. If you're wondering if you should go bigger, go bigger.
2. Black wheels seem to make tires look smaller than lighter wheels
3. If you have a Limited and think that going from the stock 245's to 265's will be a size increase it won't, you need to go 275 or 285 for any noticeable difference (Note: make sure you do your research if you go bigger). I missed this somehow, and might have gone with 275's...ah who am I kidding I want 285's.
4. Going with black rims will make your chrome trim stand out even more than it does now, I'm planning to plastidip soon.

Now to plan the lift...

What is optimal backspacing for running 285/70r17? It looks like some people are running wheel spacers even with aftermarket wheels that are around 4.5 backspacing? If I get after market wheels I would like to avoid wheel spacers.

Also, how many are running 285s on stock 17" SR5 wheel? It looks like a 285s are supposed to be mounted on at least a 7.5" wide wheel. Any issues running them on the 7" wide sr5 wheel?

Will my 17x8.5 Fuel Octane wheels cause tire/wheel well interference?

Looking at:
- Fuel Octane 17x8.5 -5mm offset (4.5 backspace) wheels
- 265 70 R17 BFG KO2

On stock suspension 2015 Limited 4x4. I hope the wider wheel with negative offset (pushes the wheel further out to give a wider stance) will not cause rubbing/interference.

I am also having problems determining if the original TPMS from my 2015 limited will fit in the Fuel Octanes without any issues.

Nice looking ride. I am looking at a very similar set up except with Fuel Octane 17x8.5 with -5 offset. I'm disappointed to hear that it does not give a wider tire look to the limited. I would run 275's but then I would have to run an E load rated tire (unless I go with Duratracs). The 4Runner gets piss poor mileage as it is and extra weight is not going to help (not to mention the added stiffness). Darn those Toyota designers and engineers.

Leveling lift with 285s

"leveling" what are your suspension specs please?

 

[bimrunner]

"leveling" what are your suspension specs please?

Don't know what the top (red) one is the the bottom one is [MENTION=113049]rochmpr[/MENTION] and he has icon stage 5 LT...

 

[rochmpr]

Can you pm me about pricing for these ???

Sits like this now. No leveling kit, running Icon Stage 5 with MT Long Travel rear. Sitting with 285/75's (34.1").

Sick.... I thought it looked vaguely familiar.... had that picture had the dog with the neon dildo I would have known right away! haha

 

[BlacknTan]

Great thread..

So, it sounds as if the new FN ƒ(x) PRO wheel will have perfect fitment for my minimalist application.

Good thing "Neon Dildo" is too long to fit on a license plate

My current wheels and tires setup

Volk TE 37 18x9 0
BF KO 285/65r18
Stock Suspension No lift
It actually has more clearance then my 20's
The BF seems to run more narrow compare to my Cooper
Clears my body mount but I believe it very slightly rub the front liner in reverse but barely and only happens once in a while.

I'm a fan of Volk wheels. Had a genuine set of TE37x on my 07 FJ...

I don't see the Volk decals on your set. Are these genuine volks or BFD's?

Stealth Custom Wheels / Cooper Tires

Installed some Stealth Custom Series Wheels along with Cooper Discoverer ST MAXX 255/80R/17 tires. Slight run at full lock on front when bouncing (mud flap extension - to be removed.)

Love your 4runner! Wow. No real rubbing with stock suspension and 285s. I was thinking I would have to get 265 KO2s. How do the E load rating tires feel to you vs. the stock P metric? I am about to change out my stock limited wheels and wonder how the added weight and stiffness of the E rating tires affects day to day driving. Right now my limited is fairly quiet but maybe a bit bouncy.
