I would have to know the backspacing on the wheels and the rim width. It looks like it came off a 4th Gen Limited or Lexus GX470 were close to the same, so it should fit.
A 275/65/18 would work as it's a 32.1 inch tire.
A 275/70/18 is a 33.15 inch tire......way too big with stock suspension.
The biggest problem I found with 18 inch tires is they are alot more expensive compared to the same tire in 17 and you don't have as many choices as 17 inch.

hi harper
size of rim is 18x7.5. interestingly this is size on new lexus gx460 and that rim looks just like the 4th gen 18 inch rims.
i would be putting 275/65/18 size.

Can't wait to see how the Chambers work out for you. I have always loved the look of those wheels, and on this rig they would look perfect. Also, I'm keen to see how the -12mm offset is on them. Personally It is a wee bit too wide for me, so hoping your pictures will change my mind.
I was thinking that an 8" width with 0 offset would be ideal pre-lift (not sure how much I will do to my rig in the beginning, but when some competent coilovers are a confirmed fit...I'm all over it).

It's going to be about 3/4 inch wider then what my truck is running now with the 1.25 the spidertrax spacers. 9 inch wide Chamber rim makes it a 2 inch wider rim minus the 1.25 spacer and the same backspacing of 4.5 inches as stock= 3/4" wider.
Yes, 8 with zero would be good ,but the 8 inch wide rims with 0 offset wouldn't work for me as they are not wide enough. I'm getting 305/65/17 BFG MT KM2's that are 12 inches wide compared to the 10.25 BFG AT KO's I have now and they take a minimum 8.5 inch rim.

Harper, nice ride! I'm eager to see her with KM2's and Chambers! You'll be pleased with the tires, I love mine. Please let us know how the new setup fits, I would like to do similar for my TE at some point.

(not that i have the money yet lol but)
i wonder if these will fit my SR5...
and if so, by how many inches they will stick out from the fender...
here are the available configs:
Config 1
Size: 17 x 9
Bolt Circle: 6x139.7 (5.50)
Offset: +00
Back space: 5.00
Config 2
Size: 17 x 9
Bolt Circle: 6x139.7 (5.50)
Offset: +12
Back space: 5.47
Config 3
Size: 17 x 9
Bolt Circle: 6x139.7 (5.50)
Offset: +25
Back space: 5.96
any thoughts from our resident wheel experts?

it takes a while to figure this out. I dont have my 4r yet, but per Harper, you cant pick a wheel with backspace more than 4.75 inchs. You need to find a rim with a LOWER offset so wheel sticks out more. so you need atleast a rim with 0 to negative offset. none of those will work that you posted without a spacer, which is a whole other issue someone else here could explain

Great! So the way I'm understanding it is that I can go with these wheels for my SR5 in any one of the following configs just so long as I use at least 1" wheel spacers for configs 1 & 2 and at least 1.25" wheel spacers for config 3. That way, the aftermarket wheel will stick out enough so that it does not contact/rub on any of the suspension/fender parts. Does that sound about right to you experts?
Config 1
Size: 17 x 9
Bolt Circle: 6x139.7 (5.50)
Offset: +00
Back space: 5.00
*According to my calculations, if I were to use 1" wheel spacers here, the wheel would stick out 0.75", i think
Config 2
Size: 17 x 9
Bolt Circle: 6x139.7 (5.50)
Offset: +12
Back space: 5.47
*According to my calculations, if I were to use 1" wheel spacers here, the wheel would stick out about 0.25", i think
Config 3
Size: 17 x 9
Bolt Circle: 6x139.7 (5.50)
Offset: +25
Back space: 5.96

Aftermarket wheels and all that come with them like backspacing,bolt patterns,offset,spacers needed,hub size,tire size that fits that rim,brake size,hub centric vs. lug centric can get very complicated.Sometimes it might be better to go to a wheel shop/offroad shop and ask the true experts or stick to 17 inch and above 4Runner rims from a 4th Gen.. I don't want to give answers and screw somebody up and be mad at me.Here is where you learn.The rims you have on your SR5/Limited now are 7 inches wide and have a 4.5 inch backspace, that's a fact .https://www.rsracing.com/tech-wheel.html
Heck, I've been buying aftermarket wheels for 25 years and still don't have it down.I called the place I bought my wheels from today to ask their expert opinion on the wheels I bought.
They are going to stick out about 1/2 inch from the fenders because I need a 9 inch wide rim to run the 12 inch wide 305/65/17 BFG MT's that I want.They said it is normal,they were made that way and 1/2" is not bad at all.That it gives a more aggressive look.
All the 9 inch wide rims I like fit the same .My other choice is to go to a 8 inch wide rim,zero offset in the AR Teflon Mojave rims that I realy like and just get BFG MT's in 285/70/17 and they will sit in from the flares about 1/4inch but give 3/4 width of the tire. The wheel place I bought rims from said to refuse UPS shipment and they will return them if I want to go with the 8 inch Mojave's instead.17x8 Teflon American Racing ATX Mojave 6x5.5 0 offset 108 hub AX39817883 I don't know what to do yet,but I have til Wednesday when they are supposed to be delivered to make a decision.
All these wheels that you see with 5.5 backspacing are made with Chevy/GMC 4x4's in mind. Chevy has the same 6x5.5 or 6x139.7 lug pattern but their wheel hub sits out about an inch more then a Toyota's. I personally would not go the spacer route with a made for Chevy rim unless I had to.Too many variables because 99% of the time your already changing from hub centric to a lug centric and Chevy hubs are 78.5mm .Also Spidertrax spacers go for about $200 so add that on to the wheel price.Easier to find wheels that fit.
Just my 2 cents.
