Looks great brotha! Im curious if you're experiencing any rub issues due to a larger diameter than most and keeping the mud flaps. Hows the body mount and fender liner rub if any? Thanks.

There is some slight rubbing now at full lock, but not all the time. Mainly if I'm braking and the weight shifts pretty good. The rub was not there with the stock rims, so the wider offset I think is what is causing it. I'll give it a go for a few days and see if it's bad enough to where I need to remove the flaps.
 
Well I figure it's time to get a build thread together. I've got some writing to do and will get this post updated with all the latest info on the rig, but for now I wanted to share some of my latest pics with the new Konig Countersteer Type X wheels.

Also, BIG THANKS to Dustin at [MENTION=85422]FNWheels[/MENTION] for hooking me a with the Konig's he's a great guy to work with!

Enjoy!

The 255's have been great so far. On road ride is great, and offroad they have not let me down yet. They looked awefully skinny to me on the stock wheels, but with the new wheels and offset I really love the stance and the way they look.

I was wondering who the new Flickr follower was, thanks!

Ground to lowest point on front skid is about 13", ground to center of rear diff is 10.5" and ground to bottom of trailer hitch is 21". Hope those numbers help.

Good to know, thanks! Really is eye candy looking at it. Do you experience much more roll or lean when going around curves? Is that a trade off?

I don't seem to notice any more roll around the corners. Of course it still feels like a boat compared to my Infiniti that handled like it was on rails. It's definitely much tighter than the 97 4Runner was though.
 
Man, that is one sweet looking 5th gen. Not sure how I missed it before but it looks awesome and makes me want a new one. LOL

Thanks man! Been following your project from the beginning. I had a '97 before I got the new one and what you've done with yours is simply amazing.

Thanks! Your truck has been the main inspiration for me with my mods. Keep up the nice work!
