Anyone running General Grabber A/TX? Heading out to the high desert in 30 days and need to upgrade. Any info would be much appreciated.

Are there pics of a 5th gen with a 3 inch lift with bigger than stock tires. I am looking for options and have no clue which to look into but I was told my stock tires will lood bad.

 

[SaguarGo]

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.

There are tons of people on here running 285s on the TRD PRO wheels which are only 7 in wide. So don't worry at all about 8 or 8.5. I would save the cash if it were me.

Wildpeak AT3W with ProComp 35 Predators

How do you like them? Literally have these wheels in a cart about to buy.

 

[blackened_offroad]

anyone have experience with Summit Offroad?

21 pounds and $175.

They've been great and have no complaints. Experienced slight rubbing only when in full lock reverse (currently stock suspension)

Those Summit look cool and that's a great weight. One of the reasons I went with SCS F5's was the weight. I wish more makers would list them.

The stock size does not look bad.

Bigger does look better, but they are not necessary.

These are 285/70 17's.

Lift is 2.75" front and 1" rear, per specs, have not measured.

 

[NM575]

Looks good!

I haven't seen much on Motegi MR150's except over at Tacoma World. $166 and 24 lbs, satin black or matte bronze, 0 and +18 offsets.

I saw that thread too, those are some good looking wheels.

 

[Finslayer83]

you seem familiar :spy:

285 Coopers on OEM FJ steelies

They tip the scales at 29.48lbs per for those wondering. I believe they have the same offset and bs as the trail wheels but not 100% on that.

Zero rub

 

[TRDHULK]

I'll play...

OEM TRD Pro Wheels
Yokohama Geolandar G003 MT 285/75r17
2.5"/2" Burtman lift
1.25" Wheel spacers
BMC, trimmed bumper, liner pushed forward
No rub

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!

My 4Runner is with the dealership. The 4Runner was already lifted and the tires that are installed are Toyo R/T Open Country 33x12.50R20LT. I have been having issues with the steering wheel shaking badly, and the dealership was informed by the company who did the lift, etc. that the 10 ply tires are the cause. The dealership is going to switch out the tires and gave examples of styles: Falken Wildpeak AT, Falken Wildpeak MT, or Nitto Trail Grappler AT.

Have you had any issues with the steering wheel shacking on the Falken?

 

[blackened_offroad]

Upsized from a 285 BFG KO2 to a 295 STT Pro. These things are f'n beefy. Will have to do some more cutting, but so worth it

hey, I see you have the 9"/-38 wheels and 295's. what did you have to do to get that all to fit? Are the -38 wheels harder to fit than the -10s?

I had 1.25" spacers on my 17x8.5 -10s and the fitment of 17x8.5 -10 with 1.25" spacers is almost the same as 17x9 -38 so I didn't need to do a whole lot. If I didn't upsize to a 295 M/T tire and stayed with my 285 KO2s, I probably couldve gotten away with no additional cutting or trimming at all.

17x9 -38 and 295 M/Ts aren't that hard to fit as long as you have aftermarket UCAs and a good amount of caster.

What I've done so far:
- Lots of front bumper trimming and fender liner relocation
- Very aggressive BMC
- Trimmed black fender end cap and bent the metal tab behind it

What I still need to do:
- Upgrade bump stops: Found out after my last trip my tire is hitting the top of my fender at full articulation
- Upgrade to aftermarket UCAs: Only have 2 degrees caster, need more because the tire is rubbing the inside of my fender. You might not need to trim the black fender cap or bend the metal tab if you already have UCAs and lots of caster

Honestly, if you do all this, you could probably go even bigger than 295s and get away with it.

...and the dealership was informed by the company who did the lift, etc. that the 10 ply tires are the cause.

10 ply tires have nothing to do with the shaking. Balancing is usually the issue on any tire. Occasionally I think it is a wheel problem. 4Runners are very finicky when it comes to balancing. They have to be done almost perfect. Get a road force balance and make sure the people balancing them know what they are doing.
