Anyone got a pic of BFG KO2 275/70R17 on your 4R without lift?

[sleazy_4runner]

I was wondering the same... I didn't want to buy a 5th tire, so hopefully i can find a cheap used one. I'll probably go to a used tire shop and try to find one for cheap.

So the spare area can fit a 275/70..

Verified. Have a 275\70 on a matching factory wheel in my spare spot already. Actually did that one before the other 4.

So any "longer term" reviews on 275/70/17s on pro rims, no lift??

 

[555R]

you guys with 4runners and 275/70/17s do you think theres enough room for a 285? with minor plastic mods

Thanks for the info! I bought the same tires, but now i'm debating mounting them to either the SCS SR8 (same width/offset as the stealth 6) or Method NVs,

did you have to remove your mudflaps too to fit the wheels, or just simply push back the fender liner?

I'm not sure if its less likely to rub on a 17x8.5 w/ 0-offset (Methods) OR 17x8.5 w/ -12mm offset (SCS SR8)

Hey man my muds came off when I cut my rocker panels short to mount my n-fabs... so unsure if they have to come off. It'll come down to your offset and sizing but I'd say you probably will need to ditch them. Good luck with your decision - some nice wheels you're considering!

Very Nice. Just picked up my black TRD SEMA 17x7 wheels today and placing 275/70r17 BFG KO2 on them, will post before/ after

Now that a few of you have been running 275 KO2s for a while, what are you seeing in terms of:

• Ride quality?
• Handling?
• MPG?

(Compared to stock tires)

Very solid ride quality. Subtle road noise- more than stock, less than previous Terra Grapplers.

Handling is fine. Grips road well... Much more than stock.

Was at 19.1 mpg with stock tires and factory suspension. At 18.0 with 275/70/17 KO2s and a 2.5/1.5 lift.

Awesome off-road. Took them to the Cove without issue. E rating and not needing to air down is nice.

You're rig looks fantastic! Out of curiosity, did you lose the mileage with the tires or the lift?

 

[GU4runner]

Just put some BFG KO2s

Hopefully I'll be throwing a some Bilsteins on in the next month or two.

Thanks man! Guessing both. Prob .75mpg for each but who knows. YMMV

You sir, could use some TRD hub caps for those wheels! :thumb:

275/70R17 no lift.

 

[iMitochondrion]

I am so glad I found this thread! They look great! I've been searching for pictures of a silver '15 Trail with the new BFGs for so long, lol. Definitely sold on these, for when my stocks wear out.

No lift stock w/ kdss. No rubs on full lock or on trails on full flex

Got rid of 265s days after bought my 2016 TEP. Looks much better. White letters out.

FNG here (hello!), trying to learn as much as possible without making new threads...

On that note, it looks like most of the people experiencing no rubbing with the KO2s are running stock wheels. Has anyone tried the FN F(X) Pro wheels with these on a factory suspension?

I ask because these wheels have the same backspace as the factory trail wheels (4.5", I think?), but are 8" wide instead of 7.5". I assume that moves the center width of the wheel out a quarter inch (I think again?) and didn't know if that would cause an issue with rubbing. I'd like to purchase these wheels eventually, so hopefully not. I'd especially like to keep my mudflaps.

Also, anyone run them with the TRD Pro wheels? Might use those as a backup if the FN wheels would rub.

There is a wheel fitment thread that will likely answer this.

The pics are super motivating. I think i'm going to upgrade to some 275/70/17s here soon and then add lift. They look the best with and without lift to me and then i'll only have to buy tires once this season!

Thanks for all of the pictures guys and gals!
