I'm highly considering running this tire when I install my lift. Anybody here running them and if so post some pics please.

How bad are your issues with rubbing??

They are pretty much the same size as 255/80 17.
 
id probably recommend a 1" body lift to help clear the tires, you can set your suspension to 2" of lift to keep it low if you want to, and you are gonna have to do a body mount chop and cut the fenders some along with flatten the pinch weld. you also need to have a decent aftermarket UCA and have the alignment tech set as much caster as possible to pull the wheel forward in the wheel well. Your cutting and bashing wont have to be as much as mine was for my 35x12.50s but its gonna be very similar.
 
Considering them next as well, but the $250 price difference over 285/70 may not be worth it.
my list:
34x10.50 or 285/70 KO2 or Ridge Grap in 285/70

I was going to run them, then I came across a smoking deal on some 255/80 ST Maxx. Anyway, for the 255's I had to push the fender liners forward and re-drill the holes plus trim the bottom of the front bumper a little. They did contact the top of the fender well on a hard bottom-out but the 6112's and Wheeler's super bumps fixed that for now, a 1" BL is in the plans. They also will very slightly rub the rear fender liners when stuffed but it's very slight, YMMV. So far, I got away without doing a BMC or flattening the pinch weld but those BFG's are a tad taller. Overall the tall skinnies have been great over everything and they fit good without trimming a bunch of stuff. The downside is, should you ever destroy a tire, a replacement may be somewhat hard to find.

That being said, my next tire will probably be a 285/75/17 (true 34" tire).
 
I'm probably going to give the 34x10.50's a shot. This will be 90% driven on the highway so no worries with stuffing tires offroading. Will keep y'all updated.
 
Here you go... installed yesterday with 5100's set at 2.5. Very minimal rubbing.

What are your overall impressions the last week? Please show us more pictures! :photo:

I sent you a visitor message. Did you get it? Tires have been great. Slight rubbing on UCA at full lock after alignment but I haven't had to trim anything. Will post more pics when I can.

I didn't even think to look there. I'm not to forum savvy, I was checking my PM inbox. Thank you for the info. Like everyone else eagerly awaiting some more photos. Your 4Runner is too cool to not see more of! :snacker:
 
I just installed the same set today. They just barely fit without rubbing. I previously had the castor maxed out so I left the alignment the same as before. Here are some pics. I have at 2.25"-2.5" lift up front. Maybe less. 2" in the rear. I'm thinking about putting my front mud flaps back on after some heat gun massaging.
The picture exposure is blown out so you can see the clearances a little better

So far the effect on acceleration and braking is not at all what I was expecting with the V6. It's not bad at all for my purposes right now. My style of off-roading is more mellow, desert trails and the popular southwest Colorado trails.

Your 4runners look amazing with these tires, perfect size in my opinion.

Will these 34x10.5r17 bfg ko2 fit with Daystar lift 2.5 front 1.5 rear on stock wheels. I am fine with trimming fender but will I have to do a body mount chop?

Thanks

Short answer...if you offroad, you will need bmc.

I did a body mount relocation from my buddy at NTK Fabwerks though. He ships these kits now too. Highly recommend. @ Nickkoupiaris on insta
