My stock tires were worn so I took this opportunity to upgrade the wheels and tires. After some researching I settled on 285/65/18. I used this thread http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/156378-going-bigger-5th-gen-tire-fitment-guide.html as a reference on which sizes would fit. It was spot on, I had to remove the mud flaps and it rubs on the liner slightly, so I will need to trim that just a tad this week. I decided to go with BF Goodrich All-Terrain KO2 based on all the reviews I've read. The KO2 have slightly more road noise and ride a bit rougher than the stock all-seasons, but that was expected. American Tire Depot is having a buy 3 get 1 free deal so I got on that deal.

As for the wheels I went with Ambit RS02. They were the perfect fitment for the 4Runner, I love the style of the wheel. I wanted bronze, but those are all out of stock. Plus the pricing was killer, I picked up the set for $500 out the door. I bought them from Ambit directly and they were very responsive in answering questions. If anyone wants a set, hit up Ray @ Ambit - 626-537-9861 and he will set you up. Those in LA can save on tax and shipping if you pay cash and pick up at their warehouse.

Awesome looks very nice! I just got the same tires but 70 instead of 65. Didn't have to remove my flaps but definitely trimmed some plastic and moved the fender liner. Might need more when the wheels are off pavement

Yes, what he said. Even on a 65 series tire I had to remove the flaps and trimmed the liner. I have a 2013 MY and on stock suspension if that makes a difference.
